Description
Models are powerful tools for teaching science as they provide useful simplifications of structures and processes, helping to make the unseen seen and the complex simple. The antibody is a remarkable weapon of the immune system. Now your students can make their very own model of an antibody complete with antigen. The activity provides a great way to cover antibody structure and humoral immunity. Light chain, heavy chain, globular domains, and antigen binding site are modeled. Students can also model an immune complex with all the antibodies and antigens, and review tertiary and quaternary protein structure.
This model-making kit includes enough materials for students to assemble up to 5 paper models working cooperatively. The included comprehensive teacher resource guide provides illustrated readings, activities, key vocabulary, and an assessment, along with teaching opportunities for students to Engage, Explore, Explain, Extend, and Evaluate their understanding of the concepts presented.
