Models, and Their Colors, Have Meaning
Originally developed in the 1950's and 60's, the popular CPK Coloring convention has been used to help distinguish the atoms of different chemical elements in molecular models for decades. Watch the video below to see how we use it in our kits and models.
Science Spotlight
Scott V. Edwards is the is Alexander Agassiz Professor of Zoology and Curator of Ornithology in the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University. His research is focused on the evolutionary history, behavior, and biogeography of avian biology. You can learn more about his work on the Edwards Laboratory website or in this video lecture series he gave on phylogeography:
In addition to being a prerequisite to join our Model Teacher program, the Modeling the Molecular World Summer Course will provide you with a variety of materials for your classroom. These include the:
Your new kits, models, and posters are included in the cost to attend. Then, after the five days of modeling are over, join us on Saturday for 3D Printing for the Biosciences Classroom. Incorporate 3D printing in your classroom and get your own 3D model from us. So don't delay, and make you plan to attend today!
