The need to address the COVID-19 pandemic led medical scientists to a great achievement: producing a messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccine that was ready to administer worldwide in less than one year. Before this, vaccine production took five to 10 years!
This kit is designed to aid in the teaching of how mRNA vaccines provide immunity against harmful viruses. 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. The slideshow 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.
Plastic models representing cells and key structures allow students to simulate immune response to a virus. Student assessment is evaluated via activities utilizing kit models and follow-up questions.
Kit includes downloadable teaching resources and 35 custom plastic models that will provide years of use. It contains no consumables and can be shared among teachers.Â
