Featured HTML5 Simulation: Balancing Chemical Equations

We're excited about the new HTML5 Balancing Chemical Equations — with new layout and design updates that support touch-screen environments. Explore and discover how you know if a chemical equation is balanced. Then, play a game to test your ideas!

Students learn to:

Balance a chemical equation.

Recognize that the number of atoms of each element is conserved in a chemical reaction.

Describe the difference between coefficients and subscripts in a chemical equation.

Translate from symbolic to molecular representations of matter.

Thanks to the new American Association of Chemistry Teachers organization for their generous donation to help bring this simulation to HTML5.

And, Just For Software Developers

Our educational HTML5 libraries are open source and ready to use for your development projects. We've created a new guide to help you start developing with PhET libraries at http://bit.ly/phet-development-overview along with a getting-started video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8Jw2Qx-1gE

Learn how to:

Check out the PhET HTML5 libraries and simulations from GitHub

Create new simulations

Understand & customize code for our simulations

Submit bug fixes for our simulations

Embed a PhET simulation in your own website

Use powerful libraries for rendering, audio, touch/mouse/pen input, geometry, MVC, UI and more.

Communicate with PhET developers and others developing with PhET libraries
