Explore the 3-D configurations of common molecules

Using color-coded plastic manipulatives, your students will construct a variety of familiar molecules and compounds, including water; acids and bases; sodium chloride; polymers; soaps and detergents; and more. In the process, they'll obtain a better understanding of the three-dimensional configuration of each and the relationship between structural configuration and chemical reactivity. Comes complete with student's and teacher's guides which provide a thorough overview of chemical structure and bonding; elements, mixtures and compounds; and chemical reactions.
