[Catalist] Fwd: Molecular Modelling Kit (Magnetic)

A colleague sent me the email below and it looked worth sharing.

I am not sure how you go about teaching covalent bonds and then go into hydrocarbons etc, but I use modelling kits to help (ball and stick is one, and the newer plastic types). I came across a new way which is done by magnets, so they are really quick to demonstrate molecules and for students to do it for themselves.

Here is a link to Derek Muller's creation Snatoms: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/snatoms-the-magnetic-molecular-modeling-kit#/

Unfortunately it would seem like his creation will not go to the public to buy in stores, and so this month is the last opportunity to order them. So if you are interested then be quick.
