Chemistry jigsaws

This resource, which comprises a book, a CD-ROM and a molecular jigsaw kit, is a joy for anyone interested in the mysteries of the chemical world around us. The accompanying jigsaw kit makes learning fun, is challenging and will help students develop a clear understanding of formulae and equations. 

The book's introduction explains clearly how to use the kit. Fourteen chapters cover almost 100 compounds and include 'smelly, horrible, hot 'n spicy, poisonous, and naughty molecules', which will immediately appeal to the average 14-year old. The final chapter provides a few chemical reactions to try at home and model with the jigsaw kit.
