Games (Online games for students to apply & test their content knowledge):
- The Periodic Table
- Matching Elements to Symbols (Play this game to learn the 40 most common element symbols)
- ChemGameTutor: Periodic Table (Dr. Despair has captured the top 12 chemists of all time! Students must choose the “Periodic Table” Level and use their knowledge to set them free!)
- Periodic Table in a Minute (students get one minute to play. Try to find all the elements given in the periodic table. Find the matching abbreviation. It helps to know their position in the table too. How fast are you? How many can you identify within one minute?)
- Periodic Table Sniper (Per row of the periodic table you will get the elements in a random order. Use your rifle to shoot the right blocks in the table as fast as you can. Do you know all of the abbreviations?)
- Periodic Table Level 5 (Are you good at chemistry? Put your knowledge of the periodic table of elements to the test in this online game. Find the right element to match the given atomic mass. Can you get them all right?)
- Element Obstacles (take a quizzical journey across the periodic table and test your knowledge of groups and families. The aim of the game is to make it across the periodic table, either going from top to bottom or bottom to top)
- Gridlock: Periodic Table 1 (Gridlocks are a fun way to learn the facts you need in Chemistry. Unlock the grids to gain entry to the next level and a secure knowledge of the chemistry involved. Based on the ideas behind Su Doku, Gridlocks have a twist that makes them more interesting, more fun, and more useful)
- Gridlock: Periodic Table 2
- Ions
- Design an Ion Engine (students learn about electrical charges and their behaviors to design an ion engine!)
- Monatomic Ion Concentration Game (Many chemistry students struggle with the memorization of the common ions. This game of Concentration will make the process of learning these ions a bit more fun. The focus of this quiz is the monatomic ions that can be read from the periodic table. Match the name with the formula to complete the game.)
- Naming Polyatomic Ions: Drag-and-Drop (students choose the correct formulas for the named polyatomic ions)
- Cation and Anion Matching Game (Test your knowledge of all the Cations, Anions, Transition Metal Ions, and Polyatomic Ions)
- Name the Element (students must correctly identify and name elements by their electron configuration)
- Write the Electron Configuration (students must correctly write the electron configurations when given the symbol of an element)
- Gridlock: Ionic Formulae 1
- Gridlock: Ionic Formulae 2
- Gridlock: Tests for Anions
- Gridlock: Aqueous Ions
- Gridlock: Oxidation Number Rules
- Writing Balanced Equations
- Chembalancer Classic (This is the classic version of the Chembalancer game that teaches you how to balance equations for the first time)
- Chembalancer Review (This is the review version of the Chembalancer game that’s a refresher on how to balance equations)
- Chembalancer Brain Boggle (This is enrichment for students that have finished Classic or Review Chembalancer early and are looking for a challenge)
- Balancing Chemical Equations (How do you know if a chemical equation is balanced? What can you change to balance an equation? Play a game to test your ideas!)
