Reviews"Each pattern comes complete with chemistry questions to set students thinking...If you've never puzzled over the shape of a dodecaborane, you will now." --New Scientist "Even the most uncoordinated klutz can assemble some of the simpler folded models, and -- believe it or not -- a few models (of linear and diatomic molecules) don't require folding!...Molecules are beautiful. A lot can be learned by making and examing models of them. At least one student and teacher recommend Molecular Origami to other students and teachers." --Current Biology "Students will come to really understand bonding and stereochemistry while they are having fun...a unique approach!" --F. Thomas Bond, University of California at San Diego "This book is a must for every high school chemistry classroom!" --James Bryn, Sparks High School, Nevada "This unusual, useful, and enlightening volume is clearly a labor of love. It offers students and science teachers a unique, entertaining, hands-on approach to stereochemistry and makes an ideal gift for budding scientists." --Instructional Media

Table Of ContentIntroduction Part 1: Basic Shapes, Basic Ideas Part 2: Advanced Shapes Part 3: Beyond Octahedra Part 4: More Complex Molecules and Ions Part 5: Network Solids Part 6: One- and Two-Dimensional Shapes Discussion of Questions in Part 1 Sources and Methods Index

SynopsisDesigned as a workbook and resource for students, teachers and chemists who want to create and study paper models of molecules and ions, this book includes: folding instructions; basic background information about bonding; general questions and answers; and over 60 tear-out model patterns representing basic shapes and ideas. The shapes and models are based on actual data and provided in scale., This is a fun, hands-on guide to understanding the basic structure and chemistry of matter. Drawing on the Japanese art of paperfolding, the book provides rip-out patterns for 124 molecules, along with easy instructions for folding them into scale models, many of which are three-dimensional. The molecules progress from simple ones like methane to more exotic structures such as quartz and buckminsterfullerenes. Questions and discussions are included., Drawing on the Japanese art ofpaperfolding, the book provides rip-out patterns for 124molecules, along with easy instructions for folding them intoscale models, many of which are three-dimensional. This is a fun, hands-on guide to understanding the basicstructure and chemistry of matter.
