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.

Activity 4: 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.
