An ideal set for introductory chemistry. All the components needed to create simple to complex molecules.
- 86x Atoms
- 153x Bonds
Product Summary
The Molecular Model Set is the perfect tool to help students understand core science concepts such as the conservation of mass, chemical formulas, and balancing equations. They are critical in making more advanced concepts easier to visualize helping students predict polarity or study reaction mechanisms. Students can explore intermolecular attractions, steric hindrances, nomenclature and complex structure. Anything is possible for students, from creating simple water or carbon dioxide molecules to complex biochemicals such as amino acids, as they make models while they study Chemistry and Biochemistry.

Effective Strategies for Teaching Chemical Bonding
Imagine standing in front of your high school chemistry class, your students having entered with many possible things on their minds, some excited for the next lesson, others wondering who their next upcoming game will be against or what is the newest online trend. You’re ready to delve into exciting new territory, but you quickly discover that topics like Chemical Bonding could either spark curiosity or induce vapid yawns.
Experiment Library
Perform the following experiments and more with the Molecular Model Set.
Visit PASCO's Experiment Library to view more activities.
Store Labels and Model Building
Students use the Molecular Model Set to build models of ingredients found on labels of household items.
Evaporative Cooling
Students use a temperature sensor to determine the evaporation rates of different compounds and use the Molecular Model Set to help relate differences in rates to molecular composition and intermolecular forces.
Chemical Formula
Students use the Molecular Model Set to explore representations of matter at the particle level.
Fragrant Esters
Students use a temperature sensor and a Molecular Model Set to study the properties of reactants and products of three distinct esterification reactions.
Lewis structures and VSEPR
Students use the Molecular Model Set to study the relationship between the bonding capacity of individual atoms and 3D molecular structure.
Balancing Chemical Equations
Students use the Molecular Model Set to model the law of conservation of matter during chemical reactions.
Bonding and Organic Chemistry
Students use the Molecular Model Set to explore the variety of bonding configurations possible by a carbon atom.
Amino Acid to Protein
Students use a Molecular Model Set to explore amino acids and a polymerization reaction where amino acids are joined to build a “protein”.
Equilibrium Reactions
Students model an equilibrium reaction at the particle level as well as the visible level.
Modeling Limiting Reactants
Students use the Molecular Model Set to simulate reaction scenarios where there are limiting and excess reactants, and ideal reactions where all reactants are consumed.
Molar Mass
Students use the Molecular Model Set to build models of compounds and determine the molar mass; students determine the moles of chalk used to write their name to connect mass with the amount of particles in one mole.
