  Game

  Guess What: Compounds

  In this game, students will use their knowledge of the different types of elements and the compounds they can form to guess the computer opponent’s secret compound before the computer can identify their compound.

  Game

  Ion Dice

  In this game, students roll ion dice and select ions to create various ionic compounds in order to score points. As the game progresses, fewer dice are available, so students must decide to either play it safe or risk a “bust” which would result in losing all their points for the round.

  Precipitation Reactions Game

  In this game, students explore the concepts of solubility and precipitation reactions. The game contains three difficulty levels – introductory, standard, and mastery. Bonus questions include naming compounds and identifying spectator ions.

  Game

  Activity Series Game

  In this game, students will explore the activity series of metals by pitting pairs of metals and metal ions against one another and observing which one steals electrons from the other. Students can play "capture the flag" and a pong-style game where they use ions as the ball. Two extension activities have students view videos of real-world reactions and create a particulate model of what they observed.

  Game

  Matchmaker: Ionic Bonding

  In this game, students will test their ionic bonding knowledge by forming ionic compounds from a variety of ions. During the game, students will be provided with a name of the ionic compound and two ions (one cation and one anion). The goal of the game is to form an ionic compound that matches the name using the provided ions. Students score points by combining the ions in the correct ratio, based on the charges, and by selecting the matching chemical formula.
