There's no better way to teach water concepts!

Description

There's no better way to teach water concepts than with our hands-on Magnetic Water Molecule Kit. Embedded magnets accurately reflect positive and negative charges, allowing your students to feel the various strengths of hydrogen, covalent, and ionic bonds. Using these magnetic water molecules, your students can discover hydrogen bonding, make ice, dissolve salt, evaporate water, explore transpiration, create ethanol, and much more. Use our kit to show the differences between molecular adhesion, cohesion, and capillary action and to demonstrate surface tension, evaporation, condensation, and solubility. Each single kit includes enough pieces for 12 water molecules, plus one each for sodium chloride, ethane, and hydroxyl groups. Our six-pack kit is perfect for classroom use. All kits come with detailed assembly instructions. Extensive lessons available online.

Like Tom, I discovered these 3-D kits when they first appeared. No drawing on a flat page can teach the way 3-D can. I have used these with middle schoolers through college students, including adult learners whose "Aha" appeared quickly and with as much noise as younger students, including rolling and bouncing of pieces.

Great Investment

I bought one of these kits back when they first came out and saw immediately what a great investment it was: very engaging for my biology students who could now see and feel what covalent bonds and hydrogen bonds were doing. The polarity of the water molecule becomes actionable. The expansion of water as ice is easily demonstrated and not easily forgotten. I've subsequently purchased two more sets after moving to a different school and wanting a personal set at home for grandkids to handle. They're more expensive now, of course, but still one of the best teaching investments I ever made with my own money.
