Chemistry calculations can look a bit like alphabet soup at times. How do you help pupils make sense of it all? An interactive resource helps scholars sort through the symbols for common quantities such as moles, boiling point, and change in enthalpy. Users match the symbols with what they stand for and manipulate them in logic-based puzzles.

  • Print the puzzles if individual computers are not available for use

Pros

  • Games include a large assortment of symbols used throughout chemistry
  • The hands-on nature of the activity is perfect for different types of learners

Cons

  • None
