MicroSnatoms Magnetic Molecular STEM Kit by Veritasium | Intro to Atoms, Molecules, Bonding, Chemistry | Science | Magnetic Molecular Modeling Complete Set | Innovative Educational Tool

My science loving child adores these. They stick together really well and come with a booklet of the different atoms to make. He enjoys playing with these very much.

These are pretty great. Quick and easy to assemble and disassemble. On the Snatoms website there are pdf diagrams to aid in modeling quite a few different molecules. I do wish the magnets were a little stronger as more complicated structures become delicate when handling. Also Derek, on the off chance you read these, I'd love to see a young adult friendly app of some sort to help keep emerging chemists/physicists engaged.

I’ve been messing with the MicroSnatoms kit, and it’s honestly pretty cool! The tiny magnetic pieces snap together like real chemical bonds, making it a blast to build molecules and get how atoms vibe. It’s sturdy too—durable enough for my kid to play with and me to geek out on. Perfect for home learning or just messing around, and it’s compact for small spaces. Only hiccup? The smaller size means it’s a bit tricky to handle if your fingers aren’t nimble. Not a big deal, just takes some getting used to. Solid tool for chemistry nerds or curious kids!

I bought these to use with my middle school classes. They are a great hands-on way to learn about atoms, molecules and compounds. They are a good size, the packaging is good and one set can be used for a group of 4-5 students. My problem is that I have used them twice, and each time, one of the pieces has broken open. I have been able to fix them with glue, but for the price, they should stay together better.

It is great for education but magnets might be more strong

Magnets are awesome. Wish I got the big set.

Unfortunately Amazon is crashing when I try to upload photos at the moment. The product arrived looking used. White pieces had brown stains. The black pieces looked scuffed and worn. The set was strangely oily looking as well. This could be forgiven if the product worked as intended. Weak magnets cause any complex structures to easily fall apart. The expensive price tag and limited number of pieces limits the application. Good idea, poorly executed. Save your money and skip this.

It's a nice concept but the magnets are too weak for them to be of any real use.I don't know what the other reviewers saying that these are good for organic chemistry or biochemistry were using because the weak magnets makes building anything that requires more than a three carbon chain impossible.They are fun, easy to use, and come with a convenient storage container, but they are not a useful learning tool for anything past the absolute basics.Save your money and buy one of the cheaper and studier ball-and-stick kits.
