Develop and use a Model to visualize and describe the replication cycle of the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV)! The model shows all steps of the life cycle including: host cell binding and entry, viral RNA genome replication, transcription of viral genes, viral assembly and release.
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 Coronavirus Life Cycle 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. Kit includes enough materials for students to work cooperatively to assemble 10 paper models. Also includes a comprehensive Teacher Resource Guide 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 in the classroom, lab or at home.
