Exploring Crystal Structure and Symmetry (Part 1)

Learn about the basic repeating unit of crystals with Madelyn in this fun and educational activity. Follow along as she assembles rhombohedron and cube unit cells, exploring rotational and mirror symmetry. This is the perfect video for middle school science teachers or parents looking to engage their children in a hands-on STEM activity.

This video supports Part 3 of "Electric Crystals: A tour of crystal symmetry and function through comics."
