Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Molecules and Compounds. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.

Main Concepts

Some molecules are produced synthetically.

Elements are represented by chemical symbols.

Compounds are substances made of more than one type of element.

There are a limited number of elements on Earth.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

What is all matter made of? What do we call atoms that all share the same properties and are all structurally the same? Which element is found in all living things and is the element upon which all life forms are based?

After the Game

How do atoms combine to form molecules? What does the chemical formula for a molecule tell us about that substance? How is the chemical formula for a molecule similar to a recipe we use in the kitchen? What is the role of electrons in helping an atom form bonds with other atoms? How does a compound like water differ from a molecule of oxygen?
