Happy Atoms is our physical and digital chemistry modeling set that has the goal to make learning chemistry fun and engaging. The project is a brainchild of Schell Games CEO, Jesse Schell.
If you are an educator, a parent, or a student and want to learn how to use Happy Atoms, we have several resources for you.
Video: Getting started with Happy Atoms
This video provides the basic instructions in using Happy Atoms. But how can Happy Atoms be used in a classroom?
Happy Atoms Classroom Resources
Funding for Happy Atoms came from a grant provided by IES/SBIR programs, and the goal was to make sure the project could align with standards that chemistry and science teachers are required to reach. With that in mind, we worked with WestEd, a nonprofit research and development service agency, to create lesson plans for teachers to use in the classroom.
You can find the lesson plans here.
More On the Way
We have been thrilled to see how well Happy Atoms has been received so far. We are working on the Android version for the app, and are looking for ways to make Happy Atoms even better for chemistry lovers.
