Group 1 Elements 3-D Model Making Kit

Demonstrate to your students how electrons behave during bond formation!

Models are powerful tools for teaching science as they provide useful simplifications of structures and processes, helping to make the unseen seen and the complex simple. 

Group 1 of the Periodic Table contains the reactive alkali metals.  Your students first build their easy to make paper models of atoms and electrons. They then use the models to look at how the Group 1 elements react. The differently colored electrons make it easy to see how the bonds are formed. The models shows reactions with water, oxygen and chlorine.

The Model Making Kit includes enough materials for students to assemble a paper model working cooperatively. The comprehensive Teacher Resource Guide included provides illustrated readings, activities, key vocabulary and an assessment, along with teaching opportunities for students to Engage, Explore, Explain, Extend and Evaluate their understanding of the concepts presented.
