Buckyball

[Ocean Breeze]

Anyone know a good website where I can find a paper template so the students can make buckyballs? The texts that yr 11 are using suggest a website for the pattern download , but the site no longer exists.

We usually drag out the plasticine , polystyrene balls and toothpicks as well.
Any other ideas are welcome...

Just google "Buckyballs template" and the first one and the second one seems to have a template.

Thanks chsc..
the first few links (1 st on the google search) are no longer valid... I should have persevered down to the 3 rd option.
So here it is

All thats required is sticky tape, scissors, and a bit of creative folding
