Good idea but not a large quantity by Lisa Pruitt (Spring, Texas USA)  4 Stars
June 12, 2009
I used this product with high schoolers taking level biology. I thought the hands on approach was fantastic. I was disapointed in the quantity inside each kit. I needed two kits to cover a room and my classes were on the small side. For the cost I think that the total number of small kits that can be made is disapointing.

Kinesthetic value for teaching DNA functions by Michael R. Sharp (Lewisville, NC USA)  5 Stars
November 23, 2008
Students definitely respond positively to this K'Nex model! It allows physical demonstration of not only the structure of DNA, but also replication and transcription. "Breaking" the hydrogen bonds, copying the template, even imagining how the ribosome reads the RNA for protein synthesis are much easier for students to comprehend with K'Nex.
