Atom Simulator: Kids Create Compounds & Play

[DoctorMO]

Are there any good atom simulators where kids can bash some atoms around on screen using all the measured real world numbers, so bringing reactive elements together would create compounds but something that wasn't staged or pre-animated. something with more of a constructive 'do-anything' on the atom scale game?

Best Regards, Martin Owens

Try Molecular Workbench. Hope that is what you are looking for.

The Molecular Workbench software

I think the Molecular Workbench may be what you are looking for. The software provides a virtual lab environment in which you can create molecular dynamics models and run them immediately. The whole simulation environment is embedded in a word processor that allows you to create web-page-like documents and share with other people.
