Each one covers a different piece of the chemistry unit, and each one hands you a verifiable progress code so you can grade it without collecting a thing.

Periodic Table Explorer cover art
S8P1 · SPS1 · SPS2

Periodic Table Explorer

An interactive periodic table that recolors itself however you need it to.

  • Color all 118 elements by family, metal type, state, valence electrons, or reactivity with one click
  • Open any element for its Bohr model, valence count, ion charge, and a real-world fact
  • High School trend heat maps for atomic radius, ionization energy, and electronegativity
  • Name-seeded practice with a code you can verify, plus five printable worksheets with keys

Naming Binary Compounds cover art
SPS2 · High School

Naming Binary Compounds

Ionic and covalent naming, with feedback that names the mistake instead of just marking it wrong.

  • A clickable naming flow chart, plus a namer that works both directions and shows every step
  • Watch why the criss-cross method works, and watch the electrons transfer to match the formula
  • Greek prefix flash cards and a sixty-second speed drill
  • Wrong answers get diagnosed — prefixes on an ionic compound, a missing Roman numeral, a criss-cross that never got reduced — and each student finishes with a study list built from their own mistakes
  • Transition metals and Roman numerals switch on and off, so you can teach it in two passes
