Molecular modelling with clay part 3
Further to the post earlier I am having mixed results trying to make double bonds from bendy straws. This is really proving to be not the most ideal solution.
I am experimenting with using straight straws side by side to represent a double bond.
This sort of works, but still isn't ideal, perhaps I'll just stick to single bond molecules.
Doing modelling with clay is certainly not an ideal solution but, as stated it may simply help with some basic modelling if you can't get hold of the actual modelling kits.
Just don't try and be adventurous.
This is science, so it needs some more experimentation to find an ideal solution.
if anyone has those craft match sticks such as these:-
as sold by Factory Direct Craft.com
This may prove to be a better solution than straws. You can get shorter lengths which will probably be better.
Don't go and buy any, I would suggest to see if you can get a few to experiment with, after school or other child care clubs usually have craft materials, so I would suggest experimenting first.
