United Scientific™ mRNA Vaccines Education Kit

Description

• The world recently witnessed the most rapid vaccine production ever, achieving another milestone in medical science
• In response to the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus and the CoVID-19 pandemic, a messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccine was developed and administered to billions worldwide in less than a year
• Prior vaccine production took five to ten years
• Just as the wheel was invented long before the automobile, mRNA vaccines were built upon much previous scientific knowledge, dating back to the days of Gregor Mendel and possibly before
• This mRNA kit is designed to aid in the teaching of how mRNA vaccines provide immunity against harmful viruses
• A colorful animated slide show illustrates virus structure, viral entry into body cells and the immune response
• A summary of how mRNA vaccines are produced and why they provide lasting immunity without causing sickness follows
• Understanding that students learn best when information is presented orally, visually, and tactilely; teachers are provided with animated slides to project on a wall or screen
• Plastic models representing cells and key structures allow students to tactilely simulate immune response to a virus
• Student assessment is evaluated via activities utilizing kit models and follow-up questions
• The kit contains no consumables and can be shared among teachers
• The durability of the plastic models will provide for years of use
• Use hands-on models to investigate how the immune system reacts to vaccines Learn about mRNA vaccines, viruses and the human immune system Includes 35 custom plastic models Includes downloadable teacher resources
