Tutorial: Molecular Shapes

(Introduction to Chemistry)

Here's a little on one of the basic shapes we use.

Tetrahedron:

First, print out the tetrahedron image. It works better if you use heavier stock paper like that used for cardstock. I've used 67 lb. which works pretty well.

The next thing is to cut along the outside borders and then fold the edges up so you can tape them together. If you can, use something other than scissors to cut the image out. A papercutter or a knife and straight-edge would work better.

Here are the different sections to this tutorial:

Part 1- Shapes with LiveMath:

Some workbooks that use the LiveMath browser plug-in.

Part 2- Quizzes:

Here you can quiz yourself on recognizing the different shapes.
