• Resumen

  • This paper presents a game designed to convey chemical concepts related to periodic table elements: their symbols, electronic configurations, uses, and properties. Students answer questions and connect chemical symbols (as in a connect-the-dots game), so that correct answers yield a picture. Different pictures can be obtained depending on the elements chosen, their location in the figure of the game, and the questions asked. While this game was developed for first- or second-year high school students, teachers have the flexibility to choose different elements and alter the questions of the game to accommodate the level of the students in their classes.
