SciVon DNA Model Kit

Following a simple assembly, this model can be twisted into a double helix.  Each of the four nitrogenous bases comes in a different colour, so students can design their own base pair coding.  It is easily removed from the plastic base and can be extended to its full length and laid flat.  The model can then be “unzipped” to demonstrate separation.

This model is appropriate for classes at many different levels.  It contains all the components you need, and the accompanying notes provide assembly instructions, as well as information on the structure and function of DNA.

Being able to construct and twist the model back and forth makes it a robust “hands on” learning tool.  Length when collapsed is 23cm (15cm diameter), and is 89cm when fully extended and and flat.
