Curated OER
Silica Tetrahedron Model
Very simply, pairs of learners construct a model of the tetrahedral silica structure using raisins and toothpicks. They dip it into a soapy solution and then blow a bubble "atom" into its center. The lesson plan gives instructions that...
Curated OER
Silica Tetrahedron Model
Students build a 3-D tetrahedron model. For this tetrahedron lesson plan, students use materials such as a toothpick, paperclips, paper, raisins and more to build a silica tetrahedron model and discuss its importance in the atom.
