Description

Chemistry is the science of materials, their properties, and how they react with each other. All materials are made of atoms. Why do some atoms combine with each other while other atoms do not? Because atoms just want to be happy! Of course, atoms don’t really have feelings. But they do have observable behaviors. And atoms tend to be more stable, or “happy,” when they have certain numbers of electrons whizzing around their cores. Where do they find extra electrons if they need more to be happy? From other atoms that have too many electrons, of course! When atoms share or exchange electrons to be happy, they stick together. Happy atoms form molecules! With this revolutionary approach to teaching chemistry, you can make your own happy atoms! This physical and digital system lets you discover the world of molecules in an intuitive, hands-on way. Using a set of 50 atom models representing 16 different elements, you can assemble your own molecular models. The atoms connect easily with magnets: metal tips on the ends of rubbery arms, which represent free electrons, snap onto magnetic bonding sites on the atom spheres, which represent empty spots for electrons in the atom’s outermost electron shell. With the Happy Atoms Complete Set, you can snap together thousands of different molecules. Because the atoms already have the correct number of free electrons and empty bonding sites, it is difficult to build a molecule that doesn't actually exist. Happy Atoms function like the building blocks of the universe! The digital component takes this molecular modeling system to the next level. Using the Happy Atoms app and the camera on your tablet or smartphone running iOS or Android, you can scan molecules you build. The app then uses state-of-the-art image recognition technology to identify the molecules. After a molecule is discovered, the app presents information about it, including its composition, usage, properties, hazards, formula, and structure. The app can recognize up to 10,000 molecules. It presents in-depth information about 150 molecules and general information about the rest. The app is a fun and interactive chemistry curriculum. It takes you on guided quests to discover new molecules and learn about them. You can track your progress with the app, collecting sets of molecules that you have built and explored. Many people think of chemistry as complicated and hard to grasp. New technology now enables us to take this innovative approach to teaching chemistry, making it more tangible and instinctive than ever before. See the app stores for device requirements.

    • 5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, Simple, Effective
Bought these for my 6 year old. She's bright, but it's not like she's a super genius. She had no trouble starting to picture the metaphor we use for atoms and molecules. She was making connections, learning names, and predicting what would happen in her Volcao with Sodium Bicarbonate and some free H+ ions from citric acid. She made an easter card showing covalent bonds as a metaphor for connection to her fam. It was a solid buy. Really, we should start with physical models of things and explain what's happening, like in organic chemistry, before we ever start with all the pure text chemical formulae and math. We could teach calculus in elementary school if we just did it the right way. ... show more

    • 4.0 out of 5 stars Bigger molecules have a hard time scanning
Ok so I do like the set and all but I have a complaint....the photo recognition! The smaller molecules scan just fine but when you get to bigger molecules there is a problem. We spent 30 mins trying different angles of taking the picture and still couldn’t get all it to scan some are hidden behind others because the way the legs stick out all the way around the ball. Some are sticking up in the air and clip another ball to that one and the app won’t pick up the ball that’s below it! We have tried multiple big ones we have tried to make and same problem every single time. It’s very frustrating that the kids spent the time to build the bigger ones and then it won’t scan and then can’t learn about the one they spent the time on. Says I don’t recognize that or only picks up half of them. Your app needs work in that area big time and I’m a bit disappointed with it. Also when you finally get it to scan it gives bare minimum and like a few sentences about each one. For how much it cost I was hoping it would give more text in that aspect. ... show more

    • 5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Way to Explore Atoms and Molecules!
I LOVE, LOVE this set! I wish I would have had something like this to study chemistry when I was young. The atoms are durable. I love the fact that atoms like sodium have a clear tube holding the "electron" indicating that this atom wants to give up its electron. This helped my children understand this very quickly. Oxygen has 6 white tubes with electrons. Four of the electrons are paired. The other two are paired with receptors for other atoms to connect to. It is very easy to attach another atom and show how the electrons are shared or gained. The app is great! Sometimes the scan does not correctly identify the atoms in our molecule. It is very easy to correct it to the atom that was used. For the molecules in its database, the app shows the types of bonds, the matter state at room temperature, how molecules bond together, and whether or not it is toxic. It also has images with descriptions of how the compound is used. I hope that the company plans to continually add molecules to the app. I have a 10 year-old girl and an 8 year-old boy. My daughter dove into the set the day it arrived. That night she put a water molecule into her father's cup. Later she made a salt molecule and hid it on my salt lamp. She has had a ton of fun seeing what works and what doesn't. My son was slower to inspect the set. Maybe he didn't want to do it with his sister. Once he started, he was unstoppable. He loved it when he made sodium fluoride. I showed him the ingredient listed on his toothpaste. Then he had to check every other tube in the house. Both of them loved making "cow farts" (methane). I was reluctant to spend the money on the set. I am SO GLAD I did. I can see using this set for many years to help them understand our amazing world. ... show more

    • 5.0 out of 5 stars B.S. Chemistry in a nerdy family, highly recommend
I can't recommend this kit enough. I got it for the kids a year ago and they are still working their way through it, exploring atoms, and learning chemistry. I hear the first grader say things like, "I'm going to make a double bond with carbon and oxygen" or "we need to pair the electrons" and I'm just so :D. You see, we're a really nerdy family. The kids get told about atoms before they're in preschool. So they're absolutely starting from a place of higher-than-average science knowledge, and there is still plenty to learn and practice here. They're playing and learning at the same time. As a chemistry major, I really recommend the kit. It's a great way to represent electrons and bonding and molecular geometry and have a hands-on exploration of a section of the periodic table and the many, many compounds that come from it. The 10 year-old declares you should buy it because "it's super fun." Cons, because nothing is perfect: * You'll need to install a phone app to get the benefit from this kit * The app doesn't always scan molecules correctly, but at least you can edit to fix its best guess * Triple bonds are hard to construct, ... but I suppose that reflects their real-life high energy ... show more

    • 4.0 out of 5 stars Cost history is roller-coaster; buy only at the right time, need home button to exit app
This set is helpful for teaching basics. Even my 8-year-old is benefiting from it. The purchase cost jumps up and down by a big amount, regularly. Do your research. If I had waited a little over a week, I would have saved a third or better. The app is designed for Apple devices (iPad is probably what they were targeting) with a home button. Without that you have to force shut down and restart your device to exit the app. You can still use it though, as I sometimes do on an android device without a home button. It's just a pain to use like that. I wish the company would issue an update to address that. ... show more

    • 5.0 out of 5 stars Homeschool win!!
Review Image by Small big headed moving bubble Small big headed moving bubble
These things are GREAT for my homeschooler! The pic I included was when he came up and told me he had made a fart. Yup, I’m a boy mom... but he is 8 and is already impressing grandpa who was a nuclear chemist for 40 years with his knowledge thanks to this kit. Does it always recognize the atoms - no. That’s an easy fix though. Has my far too technically Davy kid figured out how to take pics and make molecules without the atoms - yes. I don’t fault the developer for that though, this kid has been putting my finger to my phone to try to gain access since he was 3.5. Bottom line- if you want something the kids can “play with” without realizing they are learning, this is a great kit! ... show more
