Have fun and figure out complex chemistry concepts with this essential kit for student-driven inquiry.
⚠ Warning
Description
Polarity is unforgettable after modeling with these engaging magnetic molecules. Students love figuring out molecular attractions and repulsions, providing a springboard to more complex chemistry concepts. When using this kit, students can:
- Investigate the polarity of water molecules
- Explore ionic, covalent, and hydrogen bonds
- Experiment with adhesion, cohesion, and capillary action
- Identify and model states of matter
- Demonstrate changes in volume between liquid and solid water
- Build different types of ice
- Simulate solubility with sodium and chloride ions
- Build ethane and ethanol to observe interactions with water
Content & Assembly Instructions
Water Kit© Contents Per Cup
- 24 Oxygen* Pieces (Used to Assemble 12 Water Molecule Models)
- 24 Hydrogen* Pieces (Used to Assemble 12 Water Molecule Models)
- 1 Chloride* (Chlorine) Model
- 1 Sodium* Model
- 2 Carbon Pieces (Used to Assemble 1 Ethane Model)
- 6 Hydrogen** Pieces without Magnets (Used to Assemble 1 Ethane Model)
- 1 Post (Used to Assemble 1 Ethane Model)
- 1 Hydroxyl* Group Model (Preassembled)
*North and south poles on embedded magnets simulate the partially positive and negative charges of oxygen and hydrogen atoms, and chloride and sodium ions.
**The hydrogen pieces for the ethane model do not include embedded magnets, since ethane is nonpolar.
