Description:
"This is a molecule or molecules or chemical structure view or viewer, sketch or sketcher, draw or drawer, search or searcher, find or finder webapp!
Some features:
- draw structural formulas
- view 3D molecules
- search and view compounds
- search and view proteins
- search and view crystal structures
- view NMR, Mass and IR spectrum
- calculate molecule dipole"
Application:
MolView is perfect for Middle School and High School science classrooms in discovering, viewing, and drawing molecules. The application brings molecules to life for students and allows them to see the building blocks of molecules and their different formation(s). In Middle School, the application might be best used by the teacher in creating 3-D formulas and molecules to exhibit to students what different molecules look like. The teacher may also want the students to take apart the molecule to explore its smaller parts further. In High School the application would better serve student more independently with the students actively building molecules themselves as they have the background knowledge to do so. The biggest drawback to this would be the independent nature of the program in high school. Each student would need his or her own computer or table and if your school is lacking the funds, using the app equitably would prove to be challenging.
