I have assembled both the Orbit small DNA Model, and its stand; and assembled the strand of RNA. Both were much simpler than I had expected. I have used them to show Addition Polymers.

Response from Cochranes: Joanne, Thank you for your review. We hope to hear from you again. -- Tom Cochrane, Cochranes of Oxford --

I bought these for my Year 7 form to 'play with' to help them to focus upon being calm in school. They liked them, and had the choice whether to read the instructions or make other items from them. They did their choice, and made smaller models that were fab. The product materials are robust and withstood being built, undone, and rebuilt numerous times. I'm looking forward to constructing the actual models during the summer! Great products and it arrived in good time too. I'll definitely purchase more from this company.

Response from Cochranes: Joanne, thank yo for your review and we're delighted you're so happy using them with your year 7 form. - Tom -
