Snowflake crystals will be the November teaching model! @Skitz1843 , we will work with you to tie these models to a next generation science standard so that they can serve many teachers and nature interpreters.

Protein Macromolecule -- if you need a protein macromolecule in your class, vote here. This could be used as a stand-alone model or alongside our our DNA macromolecule, DNAgo!

The butterfly life cycle is now available for purchase on the front page!

I mis-typed: the insect internal anatomy model was the winning teaching aid for August, not September.

Thanks for your patience, everyone! This one has been a challenge, but we have some new ideas we are trying that should make it possible to join polyhedrons at different angles. If it was easy, it would be boring, right?

@cgarber I had settled upon doing a full skeleton as well. It will be smaller than that in order to be printed, but the files are easily scaled up. Something we may need to consider is having separate files for different sections of the skeleton. This may make it more optimized for printing with minimal support material and also make it possible to make it larger. I assume that 206 separate pieces is too much, but perhaps separate sections such as limbs and appendages, rib cage, etc.?

I need to jump right on this one. The geological fault simulator will henceforth be known as, Mr. Fawlty. You are welcome, patrons of the classics.

The free EAB Key hot off the printer went to Joe Ruhl! We are excited to have him as a part of this STEM community.

Thank you so much to all of the teachers that stopped by The Shape of Science table to see the teaching aids. It was a great experience and you feedback was awesome. Let us know what you need next!
