Science teachers at our Swedish BRIGHT Reference School™
about the BRIGHT products:
”We have used the BRIGHT Atom in
high school and they work very well.
All the teachers think the comprehension
of atomic structure has increased”
Birgitta Wahlman-Baro
Science teacher, Linghemsskolan
14. "The BRIGHT Atom is a concrete manipulative
that turns the abstract concept of atomic
structure into child's play for my students. Even
advanced students admit to me that they never
really understood it until now.”
Dawn Meeks
Science teacher at Warren Central High
Vicksburg, MS, USA
Science teachers at our American BRIGHT Reference School™
about the BRIGHT Atom:
” Bright Models! Cool stuff!
The kids really enjoyed them. They
thought they were playing...I knew
they were learning!”
Jessica King
Science teacher at Warren Central High
Vicksburg, MS, USA
15. "Students at Warren Central High School have
been using the BRIGHT Atoms for the past three
years.
The use of this wonderful hands-on
manipulative has revolutionized the way we
teach atomic structure across our science
curriculum.
It has made the explanation of a complex and
abstract topic so much easier and faster...which
means the class can move on to other objectives
with greater understanding."

and share study results; showing the teachers and
students appreciate the products and that the study
results go up
”It’s easier to work and pick with all the parts
yourself, not just listening to the teacher”
”..oh, okay; then it wasn’t that hard!”
19. The atomic structure is studied the same way over the
world; based on the Danish physicist and Nobel Prize
Laureate Niels Bohr’s theory
of the atom
”Cool… I get it now!”
”Great model; it makes it easier to really understand”
20. The BRIGHT Reference Schools™ tell
