Abstract
While chemical formulas and valences are among the most commonly used tools in chemistry learning, there is a lack of educational resources that facilitate mastering this knowledge in an inquisitive and interactive mode. To this end, we introduce the “Upgradable, Formula, and Valence (UFV)” Game, which aims to explain the concepts, rules, and laws of chemical formula and valence. To make the resource more flexible, we also illustrate modifications of the game so that the game is suitable for students at different learning stages. Feedback from various groups supports the conclusion that the UFV Game is a valuable tool for teaching the topic of chemical formula and valence.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Chemical Education is the official journal of the Division of Chemical Education of the American Chemical Society, co-published with the American Chemical Society Publications Division. Launched in 1924, the Journal of Chemical Education is the world’s premier chemical education journal. The Journal publishes peer-reviewed articles and related information as a resource to those in the field of chemical education and to those institutions that serve them. JCE typically addresses chemical content, activities, laboratory experiments, instructional methods, and pedagogies. The Journal serves as a means of communication among people across the world who are interested in the teaching and learning of chemistry. This includes instructors of chemistry from middle school through graduate school, professional staff who support these teaching activities, as well as some scientists in commerce, industry, and government.
