Model making in high school biology classes is an important instructional strategy that I use to assist students in making abstract concepts easier to grasp. In general, models are a mentally visual way of linking theory with experiment, and they guide research by being simplified representations of a process or phenomena in science. High school students are tactile learners and enjoy being immersed in their learning if afforded the opportunity. Throughout the semester we build models of chloroplasts, mitochondria, and a variety of different kinds of cells to help students visualize processes that occur in each structure. Having the necessary materials in the classroom to construct models is critical to making them as realistic as possible. Models should be as accurate as can be so that they may be used in a way to help students better understand the material being covered in class. The DNA model kits will provide my students with the needed supplies to build a section of DNA and use it to explain several related processes in the cell such as replication, transcription, and translation. These kits can be used over and over again for many years to come benefiting a wide variety of students at all levels. Constructing and creating models to demonstrate learning is the highest level of cognitive learning according to Bloom's taxonomy.
