Interactive Chemistry
What it is
Interactive Chemistry provides science games and simulations for teaching topics from middle school through university. Its activities cover ionic and covalent bonding, cellular respiration, chemical reactions, and molecular interactions. Chemistry teacher Steven Sogo created the games with support from students at Laguna Beach High School. The site’s stated mission is to make web-based science teaching activities available for free. The Cell Model 2025 game works on iPads, Android tablets, and most phones, while the Double Replacement Reaction Simulator is playable on laptops, Chromebooks, and mobile devices. In Matchmaker, learners get immediate feedback when they form correct products and can practice balancing equations; the game page also links to lessons and an instructional video. The maker describes its experiments and prototypes as unfinished, so they may contain bugs or other problems. Prototype code is available on GitHub for people who want to finish the projects themselves. Interactive Chemistry lists Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows, and offers a free plan at no cost.
