A Polymer is made of many molecules or monomers linked together. One way to model a polymer is for kids to use index cards to make hand-holding paper dolls. The dolls can be taped together to form a long chain that can be displayed. Here’s How to Make the Paper Dolls 1. Fold a 3-by-5 […]
Polymer Activity Using Beads
A polymer is made of many monomers linked together. monomer: A single unit; a single molecule. The diagram represents a model of a polymer. While actual polymers can be made of thousands of monomers, the model shown has only eleven. The monomers in the diagram are different colors and sizes of beads on a black […]
Polymer
A polymer is a very long chain-like molecule. Poly means many and mer means unit. A polymer is made by bonding (linking together) many small molecules called monomers (one unit). Polymers can be made of kinds of monomers and they can be linked together in different ways. A model of a polymer, such as the […]
