Molymod MMS-009 Inorganic/Organic Chemistry Molecular Model, Student Set (52 Atom Parts)

Excellent teaching aid for parents with younger children at the start of their learning about chemistry trying to under the concepts of atoms, molecules, what columns of periodic table actually means and valency which kids find difficult to grasp (they can count the holes in the atom balls and play at mix-and-match atoms to make stable molecules). Great for showing how everyday substances relate to actual molecules and helping to explain physical properties like why things are gas, why water is liquid, how solvents work etc. Includes sheet of example molecules that children can build for fun e.g. from water to cyclohexane which looks like a crown etcQuite expensive for contents in the box but the set is well thought out and well made and per above is a quick win for helping your kids.

Molymod is a standard kit for any science teacher who has to teach structure and shape of molecules. The student set is the cheaper option for the impoverished teacher and probably only the keenest of science students will buy it. But it will hopefully be provided for them to use at school or college for visualising the shapes of simple inorganic and organic molecules. As a chemistry teacher, I wish I had bought one of these kits years ago, because it's lovely to own, and one can plan lessons ahead for the students. I never cease to admire and wonder at the simple beauty of molecular shapes. As you can gather, I love this topic!

My son used these a lot for his A levels in biology and chemistry. It really helped him memorise bonds etc.My daughter is now going to use them throughout her IGCSEs.Needed for science study.

As a new (and aged) scientist I finally gave in to demands by my husband to buy this set. It has made the flat molecules on the paper come alive and I confess has answered a lot of puzzles that I had when trying to work out what molecules being described actually look like. It is not large so I am thinking of buying another set in order to be able to create bigger molecules but is certainly a great starter kit and very robust too.

Arrived very quickly (the day after I had ordered it,) neatly packaged and item was as expected. I am happy with it, will certainly help with visualising 3D molecules

Excellent present for young learners

A huge help in understanding the 3-D of organic chemistry. Clear review of product made it easier to select. Prompt, reliable service.

I ordered these as they were recommended by the university I'm at, I never used them all during my first year but in my second year I have. They're great if you're struggling with visualising molecules (this is something I struggle with) and with the help of these molymods I'm now pretty confident with absolute configuration.
