Chemistry Experiment Simulation based on Game Engine

Chemical is an experiment-oriented lesson that plays an important role in middle school curriculum. However, traditional chemical experiment has many disadvantages. Simulation technology based on game platform has attracted many educators and teachers, which can overcome limitations of traditional chemical experiments [1]. This paper designs a chemistry experiment simulation based on Unity3D game engine, which simulates many chemical phenomena such as sedimentation, gas generation, combustion, discoloration, etc. Students can perform chemical experiments in this application via simple interaction and observe the experimental results. Furthermore, this paper constructs a chemical experimental simulation software library, which can be reused to other chemical experiment simulation applications.
