Instructional Ideas
- When reviewing different chemistry units, this app could be used as friendly competition between pairs or small groups of students to see who finishes first.
- After students have studied the difference between ionic and molecular compounds, they could be assigned to play the Molecular or Ionic Mahjong game to reinforce their learning. The students could take a screen shot of their results and email it to the teacher as a homework or classwork assignment.
- When students have learned electron configuration, they can practice in class by selecting this app’s Valence Electron game option.
- This app could be used as a game for students to play when they are finished with classwork as reinforcement or test preparation.
