Assemble & Explore 3-D Models to Investigate Key Science Concepts
Perfect for Use at Home or in the Classroom
Includes Extensive, Illustrated Background Information & 1 Set of Model Templates
Satisfies Next Generation Science Standards
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 the Paramecium 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. Paramecium are complex single celled organisms that live in ponds that predate bacteria and smaller unicellular organisms. They are covered in cilia for movement and use a mouth-like oral groove to catch their prey, breaking it down and expelling the waste. Your students will enjoy learning all about the protist Paramecium through the use of a colorful and engaging model! The model covers all the main parts of these cells to include cilia, oral groove, contractile vacuole, cell membrane (pellicle), meganucleus, micronucleus, mitochondria, rough ER and Golgi. 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.
