"Moleculix is a fantastic education tool for students of all ages.."

Moleculix is a fantastic education tool for students of all ages from late elementary school to the university level. The kit comes with a small set of plastic balls representing among others carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen and various "bond" pieces of differing length -- enough to quickly build a wide variety of organic molecules. The big differentiating factor between Moleculix and other similar molecule kits, however, is that Moculix comes with a molecule modeling software that is well documented and intuitive to use. Students can start by building molecules in the more standard way with plastic balls and sticks and then repeat the exercise with Moleculix Junior software. With the software, however, students are no longer limited to the small number of plastic atom balls and stick bonds, and far more complex molecules can be built. Having worked as a professional scientist and educator for many years, I know how important it is for students to have good 3D visualization of tools in order to gain a better understanding of the structure and behavior of molecules, and Moleculix does a great job in providing such a tool.
