Abstract Crystal structure have important teaching values and functions, but the contents are abstract to students to learn. This paper used cheap polyfoam balls and flexible sticks to make crystal model, which was simple, safe and convenient to enhance students' understanding of crystal structure and learning interests. Moreover, polyfoam balls and flexible sticks could make many other chemistry teaching models.
