Origami Organelles™ 3-D Model Kit: Cell Membranes

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 Cell Membranes 3-D Model Kit provides a great resource to show cell membrane structure covering phospholipids, cholesterol, glycolipids, glycoproteins, and membrane proteins. Your students will use their working model membranes to learn about transport across cell membranes. This kit covers facilitated diffusion and co-transport, active transport by ATP, ion channels, and bulk transport by exocytosis and endocytosis. An option to show plant-specific cell membrane proteins is also included.
 
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.
