How can I use 3D model kit to support my learning in A-level chemistry?
I have the 3D model kit for chemistry, which i thought might make learning more fun but I dont know what I should use it for.

Unfortunately, but I guess others may have a different opinion to me, I happily teach the entirely of secondary school chemistry without ever needing to use molemod kits. Very occasionally I whip one out to demonstrate chirality to some kids whose spatial awareness isn't good enough to visualise things (which is odd as I have aphantasia).

Use a 3D model to analyse the structure of molecules and atoms and to illustrate chemical reactions.
Here are some ideas:
- Make a model of a water molecule (H2O) and show how hydrogen and oxygen atoms combine.
- Make a model of a hydrogen atom by combining a proton and an electron. Protons and electrons are the basic building blocks of the atom.
- Protons are positively charged particles in the nucleus, while electrons are negatively charged particles orbiting the nucleus, as you know well. By combining a proton and an electron, you can make a hydrogen atom, the simplest and lightest atom in the universe.
- Make a model of a carbon dioxide (CO2) molecule and show how carbon, oxygen, and two electron atoms combine.
- Use a model molecule to demonstrate a chemical reaction, such as an acid-base reaction or an electrolysis reaction.
- Chemists and students can gain a deeper understanding of inorganic and organic chemistry by actively exploring different models and reactions. They can also make learning more engaging and visually appealing.
Kind regards.
