Molecular Models

In science, we are studying water. Water, like everything else I can think of that is larger than a single molecule, is made up of multiple molecules. I happen to have three molecular modelling kits (thanks, Mom!) with largely interchangeable parts, tho according to Akiva, the bonds in the newest set function more easily than the bonds in the others.

 

Akiva quickly moved beyond constructing boring ol’ H2O.

He looked at molecular diagrams to build molecules with cyclohexanes and phenyl groups and whatnot.

I’d have to look in the booklet to see what he built.

 

 

 

Iris, the mad scientist, focused on symmetry.

This unidentified carbon molecule eventually absorbed all carbons in three kits into its crystalline structure.

It was lovely.
