Real Chemistry - How Childrens Games Can Teach Chemistry

Real Chemistry - How Children's Games Can Teach ChemistryReal Chemistry is a new chemistry game that many people have been waiting for, especially kids. The first time I saw this game I thought it was just a throwaway game at an online store but then I saw some other games with the same concept.The easy way to see the obvious impact that this game has on children is simply by watching the reviews of other children's games. Most of the reviews are positive and fun. These are not reviews of Real Chemistry however, they are more about these games that claim they can teach kids how to make their own fake compounds and how to use them to learn about chemical reactions.This game teaches kids the fundamental principles of chemistry. You begin the game by choosing from different colors. These colors signify a reaction between two or more compounds. The colors are blue, green, yellow, red, white, black, brown, and orange.Orange is a compound of oxygen and hydrogen. This is the basic molecule that makes up everything from water to chocolate. Oxygen and hydrogen are usually two compounds that cannot mix together but this can be changed by adding something else.Your goal is to mix your compounds into one of the seven different colors and you will also need to mix two other colors together to make a colored mixture. The reaction that will take place is based on the number of molecules that you have created in your mix. For example, if you want to make a brown colored mixture, you should try to mix more than the amount of orange molecules you started with.Once the game is over you will notice that the changes in color will be apparent on the yellow compound, orange and red. But don't worry too much, you can always go back and re-do your mix if you think you made a mistake and change it to something else.The game also gives the opportunity to create a one-of-a-kind reaction that can only be found in the game. It's fun to see what you can come up with when the color combinatio ns are chosen carefully. It's also a good way to introduce your child to chemistry without making a chemical bomb out of the most common elements.
