“Students at Warren Central High School have been using the BRIGHT Atom for the past four years. The use of this wonderful hands-on manipulative has revolutionized the way we teach atomic structure across our science curriculum. It has made the explanation of a complex and abstract topic so much easier and faster... which means the class can move on to other objectives with greater understanding.”

Dawn Meeks Science teacher, Warren Central High A BRIGHT Reference School

“The BRIGHT Atom is a concrete manipulative that turns the abstract concept of atomic structure into something easy for my students. Even advanced students admit to me that they never really understood it until now.”

Jessica King Science teacher at Warren High School A BRIGHT Reference School

“This model made a difference for me. I understood the basics and that helped me in every science class; in theory and in experiments. As I understood the essentials I started to be more interested in science and I plan to study science at a university in the future”

“Easy to use, the model really makes teaching easier. I can make different forms of hydrocarbon molecules; really any molecules I talk about in class and the students get a visual as I speak, which is great. I can choose if I want to show the bindings too. And I can actually present any chemical reactions in no time.”

Swedish science teacher testingthe BRIGHT Teacher Molecule™

“The BRIGHT Teacher Molecule™ is ideal for effective and easy teaching, and learning. I can easily present any molecules, formulas, chemical bondings or chemical reactions to the class, directly on the whiteboard.”

Norwegian science teacher

“As all parts are separate, the model is flexible so I can use it basically every class. It sort of works with me… And I know my students appreciate it as it makes it easy to follow every step”

“Excellent set; my classroom demonstrations are so much easier to plan as well as to execute. The students can visually follow what I’m teaching and they find it easier to grasp the essentials of science in general. Then they move on to activities with their hands-on models and get to pick with the parts and make their own atoms; I’m impressed how much they learn.Being a teacher, I also discovered the students grasp the details of reactions in experiments since we introduced the BRIGHT models in class.”

Science teacher from Chile

“I have 40 students in my classroom. It’s great to be able to have them all engaged; to make sure they all get what they need to learn”

Science teacher from England

“I can work with the models in my biology class and my colleague can work with them in his chemistry class at the same time; we don’t have to wait for each other”
