Cell Modeling Kit©
Designed for middle school through college, the Cell Modeling Kit© supports learning across a wide range of biology topics. Students can intuitively build and customize models that range from the basics of cell structure to advanced concepts in molecular biology. With open-ended components, instructors can guide lessons at any level while encouraging students to explore and discover for themselves.
What students can model
-
Compare prokaryotic, eukaryotic, plant, animal, and specialized cells
-
Identify and investigate the functions of key organelles
-
Explore transport and movement by simulating vesicles fusing with membranes
-
Trace the flow of genetic information from nucleus to ribosome, through the ER and Golgi apparatus, to secretion via vesicles
-
Demonstrate infection, immunity, and viral interactions (capsid and enveloped virus included)
-
Investigate cell communication, including reception, transduction, and response
-
Examine homeostasis and disruptions to system balance
What’s included
-
Ample membrane pieces for building cell boundaries and internal compartments
-
Organelles such as a nucleus, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and lysosome
-
A large assortment of “generic” proteins and small molecules that can be assigned different identities in various scenarios
-
Virus components, including a capsid and an enveloped virus
The Cell Modeling Kit© is adaptable for short classroom demonstrations or in-depth investigations. Whether introducing cell structure to beginners or exploring advanced processes with college students, this kit provides endless opportunities for interactive, inquiry-based learning.
