Activity 1: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 18 min

Molecular Mastery

Frank the Furball needs to collect atoms for ten different molecules. Before you search for the atoms, you will learn about the molecule you need to create. You will have three tries to help Frank find the atoms he needs without falling. If you can't help Frank find the right atoms, you can still move to the next level to keep learning about molecules.

Activity 9: Question Game. Estimated duration: 17 min

Compound Combat

In this game, you will learn about chemistry terms as you shoot atoms from your spaceship. Periodically questions will appear on the screen to check your understanding of the chemistry terms you learned. When you answer the questions correctly, your ship will be upgraded, and the questions will become more challenging. You must get through several levels destroying atoms for a surprise at the end.

Molecule Builders

Hello, cadet! You have just arrived to the Builder, a lab where you will construct different molecules. As you work through how to build the molecules, you will meet different people along the way who are in charge of the different elements you will need to build the necessary molecules. As you talk with them they provide you information on molecules and compounds, as well as covalent bonding.
