Description
Engage with Water Molecules!
Alice Scheele, Patrick Henry High School
Engage your students’ senses – touch, sight, and hearing with the magnetic Water Kit© and see the amazing ways your students can model the physical and chemical properties of water from hydrogen bonding and surface tension to transpiration and dissolving ionic bonds. Don’t forget the tetrahedral arrangement of water molecules!
Aquaporin Channels
Tim Herman, PhD, 3D Molecular Designs
Explore the structure of aquaporin channels and how they allow water to pass through membranes. Hear how the exploding frog egg experiment led Peter Agre’s lab to realize that the mystery protein was indeed a water channel. A few years later, this work resulted in a Nobel Prize in Chemistry for Dr. Agre.
