Elementary Chemistry Quiz Games

This game presents the user with a periodic table, and some information about the elements on the side.
Element Group: Level L
Strong point:
I found that the way they chose to break this game up into a Learning level, and then level 1, 2, etc. was very effective in presenting the educational information. Implementing a 'tutorial level' first would give struggling students (or students who have not been introduced to the concept yet) a chance to review, or be introduced to the concept of pointers.

Level 1:
The game caters to students with difficulty in this subject. After the second time the user chose the wrong section of the periodic table to put a particular series, the correct blocks would flash so that they could place it correctly and continue. This would help students learn the correct place for the series, but without gaining any points from it. The game provides immediate feedback, so it is effective when in getting the information across.

Faults:
Contrary to the other games we have played, this game does not incorporate many of the entertaining components. What we have noticed is that having intriguing characters and a colorful interface is a key point in creating an entertaining game. This game had a very bland background with very simple images. The game was very successful in conveying the information, but it is not a very inviting game to a typical first or second year student.
