Build a Molecule

TLF ID A005852

This interactive simulation challenges students to build molecular structures given a set of atoms. In a series of simulations students build simple molecules from atoms; construct molecules from the chemical formula and experiment with combining atoms to build larger molecules. The resource does not require registration to access the simulation for students to use, however teachers can register for free access to tips and additional instructions for using the resources and a range of teacher-submitted activities that use the simulation. The simulation is also available in multiple languages.
