Tištěné 3D modely ve výuce chemie

students understand spatial layout and properties of molecules. Contemporary 3D printer technology is a new alternative
to create a number of material models according to the actual teaching needs. Printed 3D models can be used to
support active learning with practical manipulation in common learning, or to facilitate learning of students with visual
impairment or impaired spatial perception. In this work, we focus on the design, preparation and application of printed
3D models to support teaching of chemistry within the following two thematic units: periodic law and properties of
elements, structural properties of molecules of organic compounds. The objective is to find out how students of primary
and secondary schools perceive printed models and how they help them understand the structure of chemical substances.
An indispensable part of our research is also a reflection on the extent to which 3D printed models are useful tools for
chemistry teachers.
