Using Role-Playing Game Dice To Teach the Concepts of Symmetry
Anthony K. GraftonJournal of Chemical Education2011 Article ASAPUsing Role-Playing Game Dice To Teach the Concepts of Symmetry
Anthony K. GraftonJournal of Chemical Education2011 Article ASAPFinding and describing the location of symmetry elements in complex objects is often a difficult skill to learn. Introducing the concepts of symmetry using high-symmetry game dice is one way of helping students overcome this difficulty in introductory ...
Dynamic Paper Constructions for Easier Visualization of Molecular Symmetry
Lawrence T. Sein, Jr.Journal of Chemical Education2010 87 (8), 827-828Dynamic Paper Constructions for Easier Visualization of Molecular Symmetry
Lawrence T. Sein, Jr.Journal of Chemical Education2010 87 (8), 827-828A system for construction of simple poster-board models is described. The models dynamically demonstrate the symmetry operations of proper rotation, improper rotation, reflection, and inversion for the chemically important point groups D3h, D4h, D5h, D6h, ...

An Interactive Computer Program To Help Students Learn Molecular Symmetry Elements and Operations
David E. Meyer and Andrew L. SargentJournal of Chemical Education2007 84 (9), 1551An Interactive Computer Program To Help Students Learn Molecular Symmetry Elements and Operations
David E. Meyer and Andrew L. SargentJournal of Chemical Education2007 84 (9), 1551SymmetryApp provides three-dimensional molecular representations from a simple Cartesian coordinate file and carries out user-selected symmetry operations that yield a second image of the molecule. If the specified symmetry is indeed present, this image ...
3D Molecular Symmetry Shockwave: A Web Application for Interactive Visualization and Three-Dimensional Perception of Molecular Symmetry
Nickolas D. Charistos , Constantinos A. Tsipis and Michail P. SigalasJournal of Chemical Education2005 82 (11), 17413D Molecular Symmetry Shockwave: A Web Application for Interactive Visualization and Three-Dimensional Perception of Molecular Symmetry
Nickolas D. Charistos , Constantinos A. Tsipis and Michail P. SigalasJournal of Chemical Education2005 82 (11), 1741One of the ongoing challenges in teaching chemistry is helping students explore various structural features of molecules. It can be difficult for students to visualize the three-dimensional shape of a molecule from a two-dimensional printed image. Using a ...
