This document provides instructions for using the Molecular Model Basic Toolkit in SketchUp 8 to construct molecular models for augmented reality media. It describes downloading and using the toolkit to build molecules like water, methane, ethanol, glucose, and dimethyl furan. Tips are provided on positioning components, changing view settings, and making copies accurately. Links are included for reference on molecular geometry and component construction. The overall aim is to teach adult learners molecular modeling through hands-on practice in SketchUp.
Molecular model toolkit of Konrad Hinsen : easy use instructions by Joanna Pinewood Education Limited.
- 1. using Molecular model basic toolkit from Sketchup 8
- 2. Training of Adult Learners in the use of Konrad Hinsen¡¯s Molecular model basic toolkit in Sketchup 8 for Augmented Reality Media
- 3. A simple toolkit that requires a little patience. Can help understand angles in molecules. Is fun to use. With practice learners will find use of the protractor easy.
- 4. The molecular model basic toolkit is developed by Konrad Hinsen who has used it to build nucleic acids and the DNA helix. http://dirac.cnrs-orleans.fr/MMTK/
- 5. https://www.facebook.com/groups/JoyAr/ Dr Lukas Richterek and Krzysztof Bahrynowski Phd have put useful links in this area of the facebook page.
- 6. Download Molecular Model Basic Tool Kit from the 3D warehouse using the import Icon
- 7. Erase figure
- 8. It is useful to change the the position of the component. Use the hand or rotate symbol to drag.
- 9. Go to view & click face styles then click x ray This shows joints of bonds and atoms
- 10. Touch the atom or bond and left click the mouse. For more information Google browse ¡°Sketchup 8 knowledge Center¡± about key words and icons A blue rectangle forms around the component this has to be exploded into individual components. Use the explode icon.
- 13. To make copies of atoms and bonds the component needs to be a blue component. Using edit icon touch exploded components with arrow then go to edit to copy and paste and never change the axes of components duplicated.
- 15. Use the atoms and bonds to make hydrogen, oxygen, water and methane and other molecules. Data of angles of bonds below http://www.chem.wisc.edu/deptfiles/genchem/sstutor ial/Text7/Tx73/tx73.html Attempt to make a molecule ethanol and glucose.
- 18. Ethanol is tetrahedral around the central oxygen atom. If the molecule were perfectly symmetrical, the bond C-O-H bond angle would be 109.5 degrees. However, due to the 2 lone pairs of electrons on the oxygen atom, the chemical bonds are pushed closer together by about 2 degrees per lone pair on the oxygen atom (to minimize lone pair-lone pair repulsions, see Wikipedia article of VSEPR for a clearer explanation). So the bond angles of ethanol is approximately 104 degrees.
- 19. Shape and Angles of Glucose http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucose http://www.scientificpsychic.com/fitness/carbohydrates.html
- 21. To make Hydrogen and Oxygen molecules start with the bonds poor fit best to work in high zoom
- 22. high zoom - allows good fit
- 23. Molecules of hydrogen gas
- 24. Hydrogen atom connected to bond
- 25. Hydrogen atoms not well linked to bonds It requires extreme patience to fit the end points together. Angle of bond in H2O is 109.5 (104.45) degrees To build H2O
- 27. Create component
- 29. Paste duplicate component Copy component in blue rectangle
- 30. Use protractor to rotate the hydrogen 104.45 degrees
- 31. Use the protractor to make your angle The angle between two hydrogens is 109.5 in water but this is wrong and should be 104.45 Cropping in paint does not give good resolution The angle between two hydrogens is typed in this corner.
- 32. To Make a New Component step 1 Edit Select All
- 33. To Make a New Component step 2
- 34. A rain cloud from fossil fuel exhaust KjB
- 35. Molecules of Methane Carbon Emission Climate Change Education KJB
- 36. a biofuel made from furan using a copper catalyst. Dimethyl Furan showing fitted connections in x ray mode.
- 37. Exploded components of Dimethyl Furan
- 39. Working with adult learners building methane Demonstration of Augmented Reality using AR-media to Adult Learners in the classroom
- 40. Processes to make these slides were: print screen, from Sketchup 8, paste to paint then into presentation (Google drive).
