DNA—Models
Flinn DNA Molecular
Model Sets
The bond angles are precise, the sugars are pentagonal,
and the phosphates are pyramidal—the result is a model
with perfect three-dimensional orientation. This model
can be used to teach DNA replication. The 11-tier model
illustrates one complete twist of the DNA ladder. The
22-tier model shows two complete twists of the ladder.
Both model sets come complete with stand, parts storage
case, and all model components.

AP6317 Flinn DNA Molecular Model Set, 11-tier $50.20
AP6318 Flinn DNA Molecular Model Set, 22-tier 86.45
RNA Transcription/Translation Set
Outstanding protein synthesis model contains
30 durable, 3-D pieces representing the
components of a 12-base mRNA sequence as
well as two tRNA molecules and two amino
acids. The mRNA sequence is first assembled
(transcribed) using the DNA nitrogen base
sequence of an existing DNA model. The
completed mRNA is then combined with the tRNA and amino acid model pieces to
demonstrate the process of translation.
Kit comes complete with all color-coded parts and connectors and pre-drilled to
assist in the assembly of the models.

FB1670 RNA Transcription/Translation Set $19.30
DNA Model
This three foot long strand of DNA
demonstrates the twisted ladderlike
arrangement of DNA. The ease
of twisting and untwisting this large
molecule will help students visualize
the 3-dimensional structure of DNA.
The brightly colored base pairs and the
dark contrasting deoxyribose sugars
and phosphates in the rungs of the
ladder make the model visible to all students during your demonstration. Carefully
handmade using rugged flexible vinyl and hard wooden dowels. When completely
coiled, the model is less than a foot in length for easy storage.

FB1127 DNA Model $81.70
DNA Model Kit
Your students will develop hands-on familiarity
with the structure and function of the
DNA molecule as they construct and interpret
models of DNA segments. Reproducible
worksheets also guide the students through
a study of messenger RNA (mRNA) and
transfer RNA (tRNA), and the process of
protein synthesis.
Materials provided for twelve-student teams.

BIOLOGY DNA
Individual DNA and Molecular Model Kit
All of the features of the Molecular
Model of DNA and its Replication
Kit (FB0449) and the Nucleic Acid
Molecular Structure Kit (FB0450)
scaled down for an individual student.
Components are sufficient to complete
an eight base-pair segment of DNA
and also to build models of the basic
components of the RNA and DNA nucleotides.
Kit includes: 4 each of cytosine, thymine, adenine and guanine, 8 hydrogen bonds,
16 phosphate groups, 16 deoxyribose
groups, 10 carbon centers, 19 hydrogen atoms,
1 oxygen center, 5 nitrogen centers, 1 pho phorus center, 49 covalent bonds, and a
student manual. Materials are reusable.

FB0482 Individual DNA and Molecular Model Kit $25.95
Molecular Model of DNA and Its Replication Kit
The assembled models are flexible
enough to twist into the double helix
structure and can be “unzipped”—
allowing the students to simulate the
replication process. 12 assemblies are
included and when completed they
can all be linked together to form a
DNA segment more than nine feet
long. Components are durable and reusable. Includes 12 complete sets of the
following—four each of cytosine, thymine, adenine and guanine (color-coded), eight
hydrogen bonds, 16 phosphate groups and 16 deoxyribose
groups.
Materials provided for 24 students working in pairs.

Peptide: A Protein Building Game
Peptide is a strategic card game that explores how cells build
proteins. Players link amino acid cards to build their peptide
chain (protein) selecting from a communal pool of organelle
cards each turn. Their selection is rewarded
with either resources or actions. Peptide
complies with NGSS standards and STEM principles.
Gameplay takes 30–45 minutes and
accommodates 2–5 players.

AP10538 Peptide: A Protein Building Game $20.55
Nucleic Acid Molecular Structure Kit
Students will have the opportunity to
construct and study the basic components
of the DNA and RNA molecules. They will
assemble an individual nucleotide after
first building its three component parts: a
five-carbon sugar (ribose or deoxyribose),
a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base.
When each group has constructed their
nucleotide they can link the models together. Components are durable and reusable.
Includes 12 complete sets of the following—10 carbon centers, 11 oxygen centers,
5 nitrogen centers, 1 phosphorus center, 19 hydrogen atoms and 49 covalent bonds.
Materials provided for 24 students working in pairs.
