Book Description
This is a fun, hands-on guide to understanding the basic structure and chemistry of matter. Drawing on the Japanese art of paperfolding, the book provides rip-out patterns for 124 molecules, along with easy instructions for folding them into scale models, many of which are three-dimensional. The molecules progress from simple ones like methane to more exotic structures such as quartz and buckminsterfullerenes. Questions and discussions are included. |

Not Origami 
The word origami in the title is deceiving. I was hoping for unit or modular origami models. The only folding that you do is of models that must be cut out, folded and taped together. Maybe I can find a chemistry teacher that might be interested in the book.

Science and Art Wrapped in One Package 
This book is fun. There is a full range of origami skill levels covered. You can create all sorts of molecules and crystal formations from the simple to the infamous buckminster Fullerenes ("buckyballs"). There is information about each item covered in the book. If I could change anything about this book, it would be to have the origami pages colored. With that exception, I thought the book was a very good time. (Who wants to make little paper swans for the rest of their life?)
