Pop Beads

Easy to connect beads for DNA fun.

• Explore Mitosis and Meiosis
• Explore the structure of DNA

Engage students by having them build genetic models with these fun and colorful pop beads. The beads connect easily and can be quickly disassembled to simulate different molecular activities. With these hands-on models, students can visually and tactually feel DNA models and simulate mitosis and meiosis.

The specially designed white pop beads with four extra holes, equally spaced in a 90° plane from the axis of attachment, are typically used to form the nucleotide backbone. These are 10 mm diameter in size.

Pop Beads are 10 mm in diameter, and are supplied in packages of 100.

Pop Bead Connectors are designed to simulate hydrogen bonds. Connectors are supplied in a package of 100.

Magnetic Centromeres are supplied in a package of 10. Clear Centrioles are supplied in a package of 100.

Caution: Choking Hazard: children under 8 years can choke or suffocate. Adult supervision is required.
