Models and Molecules - A Workshop on Stereoisomers

Abstract
A molecular model workshop aimed at first year university undergraduates has been devised to illustrate the concepts of organic stereochemistry. The students build models to teach the relationship within, and between, conformational isomers, enantiomers, and diastereomers. Exercises and questions are integrated into the workshop and the nomenclature used to describe each type of isomer is briefly explained.
