Our versatile Modeling Mini Toobers provide hands-on learning experiences in many science disciplines and should be part of your classroom’s collection of 3-D science materials.

Biology and chemistry students can use the flexible, foam mini toobers to model DNA or tRNA or create protein structures while following the principles of chemistry. Physics students can investigate sound and other waves. Each mini toober has a soft wire core and is 4’ (122 cm) long. They are sold separately. One red and one blue end cap come with each mini toober. Use end caps to designate N terminus and C terminus in protein folding or 3’ and 5’ ends in DNA model. Push pins are not included. See Amino Acid Starter Kit for a more thorough exploration of protein folding and protein structure.

3D Molecular Designs and the Milwaukee School of Engineering Center for BioMolecular Modeling continually develop and update lesson plans and other resources for our educational products. Teacher notes, student handouts and other supporting documents vary based on the applications and activities of the kit or model. We appreciate your feedback and encourage you to submit your own lessons, assessments and videos.
