NewPath Meiosis 3-D Paper Model Making Kit - Individual Student Edition (24-7741)

Product Description

Models are powerful tools for teaching Science as they provide useful simplifications of structures and processes, helping make the unseen visible and the complex simple! Using the ready-to-use materials provided, students first assemble a model to represent Meiosis as an aid to develop questions and explanations. They will then generate data and observations that can be used to make predications and communicate their findings to others. The model shows how gametes are produced by meiosis and how they end up with half the number of chromosomes in a haploid cell. Your students will first make their models of cells and chromosomes, then they learn about what happens during meiosis by working through the stages of the two cell divisions of meiosis. The model covers the following: DNA replication, how chromosomes line up on cell fibers, independent assortment, chromosome separation and cell division. Includes enough materials for an individual student to work alone or 2 students to work cooperatively to assemble a paper model. Also includes a comprehensive background information providing opportunities for students to Engage, Explore, Explain, Extend and Evaluate their understanding of the concept. Satisfies NGSS Standards which encourage students to develop & use models to represent structures, systems & processes. Perfect for use at home, in the classroom or lab.
