"Symmetry" is a very important concept in art and science. The word “symmetry” has been used for describing something that is “bilaterally-symmetric,” “beautiful,” or “well-balanced” since a long time ago. Therefore, it is obviously an important concept for paintings, sculpture, and even music. This word is also a very essential concept in math, physics, chemistry, and biology. The purpose of this model is to allow you to learn automatically the concept of symmetry by just making various crystal and molecular models with high symmetry. The reason why crystal models look beautiful is because they have symmetrical structures. The parts “balls” used for this model are actually highly symmetrical polyhedrons, because it is necessary to use symmetrical parts for constructing symmetrical objects. You can use the “balls” and "sticks" to make various models, such as diamond and ice crystals. As you connect "balls" having holes in symmetrical positions by using "sticks" to make models, you will become more familiar to the symmetry of parts and objects. We believe that you will be learning the concept of symmetry by simply making the models of crystal objects that you feel are beautiful. Let's try to make various models.
