Abstract: Over the past decade‘s pupil interest and achievement in chemistry have declined.
The reason is because ―chemistry and physics are irrelevant and boring, mainly because their
instruction is out of synchrony with the world outside of school‖. It may be interesting to
consider the reasons why we are at this point and then to suggest some alternatives. Chemistry
can be one of the sciences which is a great source of inspiration for creating games.
Gamification can create opportunity and can allow for differentiation as it increases their
chances. The key is to use gamification learning experiences with the right combination of
game mechanics. It is a splendid learning method, if pupils are desired to be the ones
responsible for their own learning. In this article, educational games in chemistry science are
discussed. The results obtained on applying the teaching unit are assessed with a focus on the
development of students‘ understanding of the topics covered and their perceptions toward the
role of games in the learning process. Also, a tool for designing and evaluating educational
games for lower-secondary chemistry education purposes is presented.
