Exploring the Nanoworld with LEGO Bricks: Structures at the Nanoscale
Source Institutions
In this activity (pages 7-16), learners model various crystal structures with LEGOs. This activity also contains additional links that explain how to create other crystal structures.
LEGO® Chemical Reactions
Source Institutions
This activity uses LEGO® bricks to represent atoms bonding into molecules and crystals. The lesson plan is for a 2.5 hour workshop (or four 45-minute classes).
Mighty Molecules
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use marshmallows and gum drops to construct seven models of molecules. Learners classify (solid, liquid or gas) and draw diagrams of the molecules.
Gas Model
Source Institutions
This highly visual model demonstrates the atomic theory of matter which states that a gas is made up of tiny particles of atoms that are in constant motion, smashing into each other.
Crystal Packin' Mama
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the basic crystal structures that metal atoms form.
Carbon Configurations
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use geometry to predict the shape of carbon. Learners twist and attach chenille stem pieces that represent bonds between different carbon atoms.
Ionic Bonding Puzzle Lab
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create models of ionic compounds and observe the chemical formula of binary molecules they have created.
Molecular Menagerie
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use molecular model kits to construct familiar molecules like lactose, caffeine, and Aspirin.
3D-tection: Trying to Fit In
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how molecules must fit together, like a lock and key, in order to identify each other and initiate a new function as a combined unit.
Periodic Pegboard
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use pegboard and straws to build a three-dimensional model of the periodic table.
