My Molecularium - Get the App for your mobile device!

" - Children's Technology Review My Molecularium is a fun and challenging molecule building game.Launch atoms at target bond sites to assemble essential molecules of increasing complexity and difficulty. Move your device to direct your shots using our innovative laser-guided aim. Learn to use the chemical and structural formulas to help you build a wide range of important molecules, from water and vitamin C to caffeine and adrenaline. Have fun learning about molecules as you play. Nominated for Best Mobile Game App of 2017 by The Best Mobile App Awards "My Molecularium is an outstanding app designed for chemistry and biochemistry students. Why do leaves change color? Colorful fall leaves. Photo by Jeremy Baucom (Flickr Creative Commons) In the fall, trees put on a pretty impressive fashion show. Leaves that were green all summer long start to turn bright red, orange, and yellow. But where do these colors come from?

It all starts inside the leaf. Chlorophyll (greens) Xanthophylls (yellows) Carotenoids (oranges) Anthocyanins (reds) Leaves are green in the spring and summer because that’s when they are making lots of chlorophyll. The summer sunlight triggers the leaves to keep making more chlorophyll. ScienceFriday.com - Science Friday. NASA Space Place. Curiosity Machine – Hands-on Science Projects. Disneynature Explore.
