Membrane Protein Teaching Kit #1

VIRTmac Cell Biology Manipulatives for Teachers and Students are a brilliant unifying set of magnetic receptive models for teaching all aspects of Cell Biology.
> hands down the most cost effective teaching models on the market - nothing comes close!
> easily demonstrate dynamic and complex cell processes.
> students are not passive observers during lessons.
> students love to touch and manipulate the model.
> covers curriculum for years 8,9,10,11 and 12.
> the term interactive is sometimes too easily used, but Virt Mac students can really get involved.

Add creativity and flexibility to your demonstrations of protein processes with this set of magnetic model pieces. Using the included magnets, you can model basic cell structure, cell size, ETC cellular respiration, ETC photosynthesis, nerve impluse, membrane transport, diffusion, facilitated diffusion, endocytosis, exocytosis, vesicle formation & insulin function.

Begin by building a simple cell membrane using only phospholipids. From that point, proteins and sugars are added, increasing the complexity of the membrane.

You can continue to increase the complexity by building organelles using the same pieces. This unique kit, developed by John MacLellan allows you to illustrate how the same molecules are used repeatedly in different biological processes.

Partial assembly required. Includes a DVD with easy to follow instructions and video lessons.
