Ever thought about doing origami science experiments? Ideal for grades 8-10, this experiment involves a spherical 60-carbon containing molecule that is different from graphite or diamond. In short, you will create an origami Buckyball!
After completing this experiment, students will understand:
- What a Buckminster Fullerene molecule is and its relative characteristics in relation to other molecules
Required resources:
- Soccer ball
- Square pieces of paper (sticky notes are a perfect size)
- Lots of time! (This indeed is a challenge)
