Chemistry education games are helpful tools in chemistry classes, although their design and production are challenging. It is acknowledged that the number of chemical equations is enormous and varied, so it is rather difficult for beginners to memorize equations within a limited time. In a sense, beginners’ interest in exploring chemistry is hindered intensively by traditional rote-learning methods. Therefore, we introduce CHEMTrans as a chemistry education game featuring many chemical reactions. Based on the concepts of classical Aeroplane Chess, CHEMTrans assists students in mastering chemical equations and cultivating their collaboration skills. The players need to write the chemical reactions in specific situations within a limited time, achieving their goals as soon as possible. Based on the data collected, CHEMTrans is an excellent chemistry-based game for high school students and adults whose chemical scientific literacy has been relatively improved during the game.
Homework, is a dispensable part on stimulating students' curiosity and developing their thinking in the subject, providing a reference basis for teachers to optimize teaching methods and evaluate students' daily learning activities. Chemistry homework is an auxiliary form of chemistry teaching. The design of high school chemistry homework should be efficient, artistic, creative, and interesting, according to the Double Reduction policy issued by the Chinese Ministry of Education. The problems of high school chemistry homework at present are analyzed, and the research progress of domestic and foreign high school chemistry homework design is introduced briefly. In order to better improve the quality of current high school chemistry assignments, four novel and diversified homework cases are designed, including the interesting life homework "the Neutralization Reaction of Acid and Base", the game-based practical homework "Chemical Reaction Aeroplane Chess", the oral expression homework "Chlorine and Its Compounds" and the interdisciplinary homework "Chemical Fertilizer", using constructivist learning theory and multiple intelligence theory as guiding ideas. Through the systematic research and practice, it is found that high school students are passionate about the assignments, and their passion and enthusiasm for learning chemistry can gradually increase. The useful and effective chemistry homework can fundamentally trigger students' interest to learn chemistry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
