=Chemi= An ideas is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomix_(computer_game) (more in physics) - if to few neutron protons is popping it and there is a need to get protons before electrons - First level basic atoms hydrogen then go up in atom numbers - later level could have some photons making electrons to pop away sum this 3 things to show how electrons i moving and acting in this 3 materia
 * Game with some few basic atoms C O H and get them stick together for building simple molecules, like h2O and C4h and 6h6o for learning some basics atoms there numbers and common molicyls, view a atom with there electrons and holes. could be nice with some animation when snapping atoms together.
 * Learn hove and photon hit and electron and push it out later when it goes back it generate a photon.
 * learn about atoms and weight to show all atom and electrons and a scale
 * Learn about common atoms in earth,sun, air

 * learn common Molecules in air, adn how we breath, and fotosyntehs
 * Learn common Molecules in thing we eat suger, bread, butter ..
 * Learn common Molecules in a cell and in a DNA.
 * Game building up a atom with the right number of electrons and protons and neutrons
 * game of photons shooting photons on atoms trying to get ride of some electrons
 * Game building up molycyls
 * Show a simple circuit with a lamp, wire and a battery then you should be able to
 * Break out against a wall of atoms, bouncing or shooting or heating up atoms
 * learn how big space it is between protons and electrons showing it in scale.
