MG150
– Advanced General Organic Chemistry Kit Level: High School and College/University
When
learning to visualize 3-D molecular structures, isomerism and
nomenclature, these models are essential. This advanced model set
has 150 components including 5 VSEPR models and 1 square planar model
for building complex ions. The instructions and pictures show you
how to assemble the atom models. The clear case has two snap
closures which prevent spills. The case is divided into eight
compartments which keep the atom models and bonds conveniently
sorted. With the Advanced Molecular Model Set, you can build
thousands of different organic structures.
MG124
– Molecular Model Set for Organic Chemistry Kit Level: High School and College/University
This economical model set has the same number and types of atom models as The Prentice Hall Molecular Model Set PLUS
six extra atoms: 2 sulfur, 2 phosphorus, and 2 fluorine
models. The model building instructions include pictures that
show how to assemble the atom models. This set contains 124
durable plastic components that can be used to build thousands of
molecules. It is the perfect size to carry in your backpack or
purse. The snap-closure prevents spills and the compartments keep
the atom models and bonds conveniently separated. When learning
to visualize 3-D molecular structures, isomerism and nomenclature, this
model set is essential.
MG110
– Basic General and Organic Chemistry Kit Level:
High School and College/University
This
economical kit has all of the atoms and links to model the structures
of many organic molecule.The kit has 110
pieces in a sturdy plastic storage box.
Five
universal VSEPR
models, allows the student to build, linear, planar triangular,
tetrahedral,
trigonal bipyramidal, and octahedral structures. When the student
builds
the molecules over a white sheet of paper and uses the white tubes to
represent
the lone pairs of electrons on the central atom, the molecular
geometries of
structures with lone pairs of electrons on the central atom can be
easily
visualized.
MG400
- The Structure of Plastics Kit Level:
Middle/High School Sciences
The
Structure of
Plastics Kit allows students to construct the repeating unit for each
of the
six plastics. Download the modeling activity and your students
can
“scavenger hunt” for different types of plastics, investigate the
physical
properties of their samples, and draw conclusions about the
relationship of the
molecular structure to the properties and recycling of each plastic.
MG500
- Sigma and Pi Bonds Level: Advanced Placement Chemistry and
College/University
This
amazing kit allows students
hands on experience with 3-dimensional bonding. The gray links
represent a
sigma bond, a single covalent bond that is formed when an electron pair
is
shared by the direct overlap of bonding orbitals. Two green links
represent a pi bond, a bond
that is formed when parallel orbitals overlap to share electrons.
Instructions
are included.
HB50
- The Structure of Water Level:
ElementaryMiddle School Sciences
With
this molecular model kit, students examine
the basic structure of the water molecule and explore the attractions
between
water molecules that are responsible for creating surface tension.
HB100
- The Structure of Water Level:
Middle/High School Sciences
Water's
various chemical
and physical properties are determined by the three dimensional shape
of the
water molecule. Students explore the attractions between water
molecules
that are responsible for creating surface tension. Electrical forces
between
the water molecules are simulated with eight magnets. The white
hydrogen atom
of one water molecule is attracted to the red lone pair of electrons on
the
other water molecule. Color and size of foam fish may vary.
HB200
- The Structure of Sodium Chloride (Table Salt) Level:
Middle/High School Sciences
This
model clearly teaches crystal structure of sodium chloride.
The model is designed for durability and can be
passed from student to student. Models
are also easily
disassembled and rebuilt. 209 pieces.
Order your kit today. $14.99 per kit Assembled crystal
is 18x18x18 cm
HB300
- Dissolving Salt Level:
Middle/High School Sciences
Magnetic
molecular model set for the demonstration of the dissolution
of salt
in water. Sodium and chloride ions are magnetically attracted to
the
water molecules and separated from the crystal.This model set can also be used to study many
physical properties of
water including surface tension.
HC100
- The Structure of Hydrocarbon Kit Level: Middle/High School Sciences
Hydrocarbons
are
compounds that contain only hydrogen and carbon.
Natural gas,
gasoline, and candle wax are all composed of hydrocarbons. Use
this kit to build the molecular structures
of many common
fuels, such as
propane, butane, and octane. Red links are used to emphasize the ENERGY
stored within the chemical bonds.
Examine
the basic
structures of three important chemical molecules, carbohydrates,
proteins and
lipids (fats), which are essential for growth, energy and repair.
An understanding of these molecules will
empower students with knowledge that can be used to make healthy food
choices
for life.
FC100
- The Chemistry of Food Set Level:
High School and College/University
This set includes
450 pieces and student activity guides for carbohydrates,
proteins, and
lipids. Students can construct monosaccharides and manipulate the
models
to illustrate the process of dehydration synthesis, build amino acids
and
simulate protein synthesis, or assemble and compare saturated and
unsaturated
fats.
FC200
- The Chemistry of Carbohydrates Kit Level:
High School and College/University
The
major
function of
carbohydrates is to provide energy to the cell. Download the modeling
activity
and your students will build three monosaccharides and manipulate the
models to
illustrate the process of dehydration synthesis.
FC300
- The Chemistry of Proteins Kit Level:
High School and College/University
Proteins
form part of
almost all structures within a cell. Therefore, they are essential for
cell
growth and repair. Download the modeling activity and your students
will
build three amino acids and simulate protein synthesis.
FC400
- The Chemistry of Lipids (Fats) Kit Level:
High School and College/University
Lipids
include the edible fats and oils in our diets - substances such as
olive oil,
corn oil, peanut oil, butterfat, and lard. Lipids are a part of all
cellular
membranes. Use this kit to compare and contrast saturated and
unsaturated fats.
