My main goal is to help others discover the wonders of the molecular world. Towards this goal, lesson plans and instructions for my kits will be provided here. The future will also offer 3-D Quicktime videos of models to help you in your lessons. Zometool is developing a computer modeling software platform called Zomepad, if you want to make you own models on the computer. Please visit their website for more information or to download the Zomepad Reader available now (www.zometool.com). If you would like to share your own novel ways to use these models, please contact me. The picture to the left is a snippet from instructions to the MagDNA model and stand. Our models can be used in grades 5 up to college. Students in 5th grade are introduced to atoms and molecules. Why not let kids, who love to build, build the molecules themselves? They can build simple molecules first, like the molecules in air, CO2, H2O, O2, and N2. Then they can move on to more complex structures. Molecules are everywhere in science and its just a matter (no pun intended) of thinking small. I've used these models to supplement lessons on a range of topics including photosynthesis, respiration, chemistry, the carbon cycle, and the cell. A lesson on viruses can approach subjects such as health, symmetry in nature, DNA, and proteins. I have given lessons using MagDNA models to kids as young as 7 years old and as old as adult college students. They all love the simplicity of the MagDNA model. The college students are sometimes jealous of the preteens.... if only they could have had these models at a young age. I usually reply, "Better late than never!"
