I bought the boys a Molecular Model Kit while visiting a local homeschool supply store.

Can you really say no when your kids ask for a Molecular Model Kit?

They went to town building molecules the next morning.

This kit attaches the pieces with springs.

The only problem we have had is the springs are not all the same size so some of them do not fit.

Building an H2O molecule is so much more fun than just talking about it!

I found this fun post on how to build some using pom poms and wire.

We also watched the Magic School Bus episode on Molecules called “The Magic School Bus Meets Molly Cule”.

I decided to run with this sudden interest they had in Atoms and Molecules and we watched some of Nova’s “Hunting The Elements”.

Do you have a favorite hands on learning tool?
