I ordered the Zometool DNA kit to begin constructing their model. Inside the Jar is a large fold out in color with instructions numbered (1) through (7) for constructing the model.
I had some questions about this model, and I called their offices in Colorado and they offered to mail me some parts for free. The person I spoke to was very, very helpful, and took the time to resolve my problem.
Zomes construction for the DNA DOUBLE HELIX begins by pairing up the Nucleotides. The outer spiralling Helixes are built and a central Zome vertical Pillar is constructed for support. In the last step, the central Pillar pieces are removed, and the Zome Model stands vertical upon a table etc.
I liked the Zome people and I liked their product.
It is interesting, that I have had phone contact with the suppliers of several of these educational models. I think it is a nice way to learn something about the quality of the product, by surveying the quality of the company producing it and marketing it.
I can recommend Zome's DNA model highly. The Internet has some excellent instruction on the Nucleotides and the Double Helix.

.This DNA kit helped with hands on visual of what DNA looks like. It helps for understanding of the components. The only thing I was disappointed in was the photo shows a full container and the container was really only half full of parts. My 13yr put it together without instructions in less than 15 minutes. He did say however that it was a good teaching tool.
