This simple kit comprises five trays, each of 25 square wells, and a lid. It can be used to construct any of the following structures: primitive cubic, FCC, BCC, diamond, zinc blende, NaCl, CsCl, rutile, fluorite, perovskite. The cost is less than $10 per kit. The trays are square tissue culture Petri dishes (multiwell plates). Atoms are represented by glass marbles.
