Pure Fun

Mr. Compound will give you a fun lesson about pure substances before you start the game! You will then jump into a game where you will hop from platform to platform to collect coins while you admire the chemical scenery. As you jump, don't fall in the pits! If you fall into one, you'll have to answer a question about pure substances to continue.

Pure Substance Lab

In this game, your goal is to determine whether the substances you are presented with are pure or mixtures. In order to do this, you will perform tests to determine the properties of a mystery substance. If the properties match those of a pure substance, you can conclude that your subject substance is pure. Otherwise, you have a mixture.

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.

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.
