Teach allotropes of carbon with our engaging model!
Allotropes are different forms of the same element in the same physical state. Carbon has several allotropes that show different structures.
Diamond and graphite have giant covalent structures whereas fullerenes occur as molecules. Show how these structures affect the properties of these carbon allotropes with our 3 dimensional paper model.

Perfect for use in class or for distance learning at home!
Your students first build their easy to make paper models of graphite, diamond, graphene, fullerenes (buckminsterfullerenes or buckyballs) and nanotubes. They use these to look at the properties and uses of the different allotropes.
Includes full colour Powerpoint class presentation!
Takes about 30 minutes! Model buckyball diameter 9cm/3.5in
Download includes: instructions, model templates and Powerpoint presentation.
All you need: paper, scissors and tape.
