The BRIGHT Atom™ is a tactile learning tool for students. The BRIGHT Teacher Atom™ and BRIGHT Teacher Molecule™ are practical visualization tools for teachers. All are based on the Bohr Atomic Model, with intuitive parts that represent particles and/or atoms. Together, they make a complete set for active, minds-on learning about the basic elementary particles, atomic structure, isotopes, ions, molecules, bonds and more. Practical work with these models allows free discussions that may lead towards more advanced topics which some students might encounter later in their studies, like orbitals, electron clouds or wave functions.
BRIGHT Atom™ The BRIGHT Atom is a Swedish, award-winning, patented and patent pending hands-on teaching aid for all. The physical model of the atomic structure is a great tool for the students to get a physical and direct experience with some of nature’s smallest building blocks. The BRIGHT Atom invites students to use their hands in the learning process; to touch, feel and pick the different parts to make your own atom is a great way to learn. Using the BRIGHT Atom, you can easily make isotopes, ions and even molecules*. All in one product!
The particle model for atomic structure is the foundation for most natural sciences; to really grasp these abstract concepts is a prerequisite not only for further science studies, but also for basic scientific literacy. Without understanding some of the basic concepts of natural science, pupils can hardly participate in important discussions regarding society’s use of science and technology and its consequences, whether it be radioactivity, chemical pollution or climate change. * More than one set required for molecules consisting of more than 2 atoms.
BRIGHT Teacher Atom™ The BRIGHT Teacher Atom is a demonstration tool based on the Danish physicist Niels Bohr’s theory of the atomic structure. Teachers can present abstract concepts of atomic structure, isotopes and ions to the class in an easy and concrete way. The BRIGHT Teacher Atom makes science teaching and learning easier. All parts of the BRIGHT Teacher Atom are magnetic, and can easily be moved at the surface of a whiteboard. Ionic bonding can easily be shown by the placing of the different magnetic parts.
BRIGHT Teacher Molecule™ BRIGHT Teacher Molecule™ allows teachers to present molecules, ionic bonds and chemical reactions in an easy and concrete way. All parts of this product are magnetic and separate; use only the parts needed for each situation. Place the chosen parts directly on the whiteboard when teaching! Våra BRIGHT produkter:

Quotes on the BRIGHT Atom™ and Teacher Atom™ Students: ”makes it all much easier” “easier when you get to work with your hands” “I really get it now…it actually wasn’t as hard as I thought..!” “great! Better than to see and make drawings; it’s much more concrete” Science teachers: “Excellent!” “Saves me time since the Teacher Atom does the work, and the students get the concepts as they see them very clear and they get to work with them individually or in groups” © BRIGHT of Sweden 2011-2013
