The Molecular Workbench

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

A quickie today: The Molecular Workbench is a free, opensource application that will drive chemistry and science teachers absolutely crazy. Want to engage your science class? Look no further!

Imagine building your own molecules, viewing them, making them interact with each other, I’ve barely scratched the surface of this incredible tool, but your kids can even build their own interactive models of – almost anything. It’s a science workbench on your desktop. I’ve barely scratched the surface of this, but I’m sure your science teachers will love it. (The science teachers next to me playing with it are literally squeaking with joy!)

Don’t want to build your own? Here’s the Showcase – a place to start looking for pre-built models. And here’s a link to the Molecular Workbench blog – a community of educators using and supporting this application.

Look at this! Way Cool Stuff!
