COVID-19 Virus Model

COVID-19 virus model illustrating the external structure and spike proteins for biology education.

This simple, easy-to-understand model represents the exterior surface of the COVID-19 virus, helping students visualise how viral structure relates to infection. The prominent bulbous projections on the surface represent spike proteins, which give coronaviruses their characteristic crown-like appearance. Designed for classroom discussion and demonstrations, the model supports learning about viral attachment, host interaction, and why viruses rely on living cells to survive and reproduce.
