• Resumen

  • As a chemistry education game, Ion Hunters was developed for university-level students to practice naming anions and cations and writing the formulas for ions that are frequently encountered in chemistry lessons. This game, which is played by two students at a time, is an effective tool for teaching about ions and makes the lesson more enjoyable by providing an opportunity for students to associate a chemistry topic with having fun. When the game is completed, the analysis sheet is used to determine which student has written the highest number of correct answers on the answer sheets; this student becomes the winner of the game.
