Abstract
The author teaches a chemistry laboratory course with many students who are not chemistry majors. To attract and hold their interest, the author has presented several brief lectures using different approaches to introduce cutting-edge chemistry topics. In a recent lecture on metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), the author developed papercraft models to illustrate their rational design, assembled structures, and properties. The papercraft models comprise cardboard imprinted with molecular structures and paper clips, so they are low-tech, inexpensive, and lightweight. Their structure is neither too vague nor too specific, which made it easy for the students to grasp the characteristics of MOFs. A questionnaire survey conducted afterward revealed that many students received the lecture favorably.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Chemical Education is the official journal of the Division of Chemical Education of the American Chemical Society, co-published with the American Chemical Society Publications Division. Launched in 1924, the Journal of Chemical Education is the world’s premier chemical education journal. The Journal publishes peer-reviewed articles and related information as a resource to those in the field of chemical education and to those institutions that serve them. JCE typically addresses chemical content, activities, laboratory experiments, instructional methods, and pedagogies. The Journal serves as a means of communication among people across the world who are interested in the teaching and learning of chemistry. This includes instructors of chemistry from middle school through graduate school, professional staff who support these teaching activities, as well as some scientists in commerce, industry, and government.
