Twenty five free flash-based science games are mixed with quizzes and animated videos, and can work with any modern browser. The setting is a space-age amusement park which is home to the Molecularium characters. As you explore, you can manipulate atoms, and re-arrange the periodic table. The site was developed at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute using NSF funding. The highly technical information is transformed into fun, simple and free games, activities and animations. The familiar characters Oxy, Hydra and Mel from the giant-screen 3-D animated adventure Molecules to the Max! and the digital dome feature Riding Snowflakes are transformed into game characters in NanoSpace.
