Many concepts in chemistry can be very difficult for students to grasp. This is, in part, because we, unfortunately, do not have the ability to see the actual elements and compounds in the classroom, making this a difficult concept for high school students. Making models is one way to help students with concepts that cannot naturally be seen. Seeing the angles formed by bonds, and the links between atoms can go a long way in explaining the interactions between substances. The ideas behind chemical reactions, chemical bonding, and properties of materials center around the shapes of the compounds involved. To truly grasp why things happen the way they do, students need a good understanding of molecular geometry. The use of these molecular modeling kits will give students the opportunity to create a 3D representation of the compounds, that would otherwise just be 2D drawings that can be difficult to interpret. The incorporation of the models will also take what is often a teacher-centered lesson and turn it into a more hands-on, student-centered lesson.
