The model can be taken apart to check out different areas. All parts are made of a soft, thick, and flexible vinyl that could easily be dropped or thrown against the wall often without it breaking. The balls on the end are a bit fragile and one came off immediately and had to be superglued back on. It comes with an information booklet that is brief but informative. It also comes with a card that condenses the booklet's info and can be placed next to the model for reference. And it all comes in an attractive storage case.
The only detractions I can find is that the model doesn't stay together very well so you don't want to handle it too much or you'll be putting it back together often. The balls bump into each other when you try to assemble it and it falls apart easily. Also, the stand itself is cheap thin plastic I wish the stand had been of the same quality as the model.
In all, I highly recommend this. I was happily surprised when I received this and my daughter loves examining it.

These handy little items are great for allowing students to interact with lessons in ways that go beyond PowerPoint presentations. What's even better, the virus replica is made of pretty strong stuff; strong enough, at least, to withstand the occasional freshman male who prefers to toss it around the room rather than hand it off. Overall, this is a nifty item that enhances lessons and serves as a mnemonic device.
