Make-it-Molecular Resources
We welcome anyone to get involved running make-it-molecular style events. Our molecule kits are sourced from Molymod® and the kit composition is designed to make about 100 assorted molecules. You can also download our guide to running make-it-molecular events .
We have a general collection of molecule instruction cards as well as a number of themed sets:
- Medicinal Molecules - see also a version with white backgrounds
- for example: paracetamol, diprivan, penicillin. - Biomolecules - see also a version with white backgrounds
