Chemical Modeling

There are many difficult concepts to comprehend in chemistry. This difficulty that many students have can come in part by the hands-off nature of learning about aspects of chemistry at the molecular level. Empowering students learning through making with a 3D printer is now accessible to all of our chemistry students through using a free, web-based program called MolView. Using MolView students can create, view and export molecules for 3D printing. In the following lessons, students learn about VSEPR Theory by modeling the various geometric structures and 3D print them.
