Molecularium™ makes the nanoscale universe easily understandable, exciting and fun. This is at the heart of everything we create.


In the digital-dome adventure Riding Snowflakes, audiences are transported into the world of atoms, where they learn about the water cycle, the three states of matter, and that everything is made of atoms and molecules. Aligned with national science standards in primary school learning, educational assessment has shown that Riding Snowflakes truly helps kids learn.

The Molecularium Teacher’s Resource Guide provides hands-on experiments and activity-based lessons for classrooms and museums to introduce, reinforce and expand upon key concepts presented in the show.

Our interactive Kid’s Site gives children a chance to explore and learn more about the nanoscale world while having fun with Oxy and her friends. Zoom into the molecular level, build molecules, and transform matter in the Nanolab. Download songs from the show and sing along with the atoms to popular favorites like “Carbon is Incredible”. Download our fun, high-resolution posters to make prints for your classroom, home, or learning center.
