Model Molecular Organic Chemistry Student Set Review

I recently got Model Molecular Organic Chemistry Student Set to review.


Inside it's filled with pieces. 

Set Contents: 

• 1 - Storage Box with Four Compartments
• 22 - White Hydrogen Atoms 
• 14 - Black Carbon Atoms
• 6 - Red Oxygen Atoms 
• 4 - Blue Nitrogen Atoms
• 2 - Yellow Sulfur Atoms
• 4 - Green Halogen Atoms
• 1 - Purple Phosphorus Atom
• 1 - Gray Metal Atom
• 28 - White Small Connectors
• 30 - White Medium Connectors
• 12 - Gray Long Connectors 
• 1 - Molecular Tool (For Disassembly)


It has instructions on the inside of the case that explains the pieces that you need to make different molecular structures. The company also sends a PDF that shows pictures and instructions of things to make. Their website has models on it as well.


Product Highlights:

• The set contains 54 atoms to provide students a visual, hands-on experience for learning chemistry functional groups and molecular structures.

• The durable, high quality plastic atoms are color coded to universal standards.

• Instructions are included on the inside cover to easily identify all of the atoms and connectors included in the set.

• The box contains four compartments for simple storage and organization.

• Molecular tool included to quickly disassemble molecules and atom connectors. I read that some people had trouble getting the pieces apart, but we did not. They were snug, but not difficult to get apart.




Product Description:

The Model Molecular Student Set will bring to life concepts such as chirality, conformations and isomers to help you relate the physical and chemical properties of compounds to their molecular structures.

Get hands on experience with three dimensional topics covered in Organic and General Chemistry courses such as Lewis structures, Newman projections and wedge-dash diagrams. The versatile molecular set accelerates memorization by allowing you to visually create common functional groups such as ketones, aldehydes, alcohols, thiols, amines, aromatics and most other families of organic compounds.

Cost:

$34.99, but on sale for $23.95.



What We Thought: 

My husband loves this! He asked, "Why can't you give this to me?" Then he thought that Isaak would enjoy this set along with him. Here I thought Mica would love it. Now I don't know who to give it to? It's a fight for this Christmas gift. They all would want it. If you're a regular reader you know my family, who would you give it to? Maybe Santa should just set it on the coffee table with no name. It could be a family gift.
  • It's a Chemistry Set
  • It's an Art Set
In my family we would totally use it to make little marquettes for little sculptures.

Fun With an Extra Napkin

We went out to brunch this weekend. While we were waiting for our check Isaak had fun with an extra napkin at the table.


His out on a ranch look.


His smolder face.


There was a dust storm in the restaurant


A napkin bonnet.




This one isn't the best photo, but it cracks me up. I picture him saying, "I feel pretty. Oh so pretty!"


He had one as an exercise sweat band to, but the photo was horrible. This boy loves to move!

An accident happened while we were there. A server dropped a whole coffee pot. It sort of exploded on the ground. All the workers were laughing. All I could think of was, "Geez I'm glad she didn't get burnt!"

WW: Mulhall's {Linky}

We went to see the live reindeer at Mulhall's Landscaping and Nursery in Omaha.




Santa was there to. My boys are getting too big for his lap! Isaak still 1/2 way believes, so we still go to see Santa.


Isaak was happy he got a candy cane!




Cuddle Time



I never knew there were so many varieties of Poinsettia!










Do you have a large nursery where you live?

DIY Gifts

So far this year I've made loaves of bread for teachers, my grandpa and one of my aunt's.

I've also made a spread of cookies: Peanut Butter, Roll out Sugar Cookies, Chocolate Malt Cookies, and Foam Mint Cookies. I made different types of Chocolate Chip Cookies: Chocolate Chip Cherry Cookies, Chocolate Chip Mint Cookies, and Chocolate Chip Espresso Cookies. 

I made much of the wrapping paper I've used. 

Mica and I made Wake Up Spray for the teachers.

Isaak and I made Peppermint Lip Balm for the teachers.

I made a Turtle Washer Necklace for my nephew Evan.


What kinds of gifts do you make?
