Abstract:The objective of this paper is to study fullerene geometry properties and attempt to stablish a dialogue between the teaching of mathematics and chemistry concepts using hands-on cardboard geometric models, in classroom, in order to facilitate the understanding of fullerene structures. This approach to the study of such molecules represents a unique opportunity to explore a complex and rich array of concepts that are essential to the teaching of chemistry at university level and have to be applied by the stude… Show more
