About This Simulation
Learn the definitions of elements and compounds and use your new knowledge to get oxygen production back online in a malfunctioning spaceship … before it's too late!
Learning Objectives
- Investigate different elements, molecules and compounds, and how they are defined
- Investigate matter and classify if it is an element, molecule or a compound

Learn More About This Simulation
Watch out for that planet! In this simulation, you will learn how to classify any substance as molecular or monatomic and as an element or a compound. Your spaceship is running low on air, and learning these keywords is the only way you’ll be able to get the ship’s systems unlocked and back online.
Identify the substances
IYour spaceship’s “scientific lock” means you must prove you are a scientist to access the controls. Today, your topic is classifying substances. You must identify elements and compounds from a line-up of other common substances. Passing this test will show your ability to recognise substances outside of this activity.
Mastering key words Mastering key phrases in chemistry is necessary for good communication in science. But being hunched over a textbook memorizing definitions is not the way to do it! Every learning experience, from learning definitions to building rockets, is best enforced with repetition. In this simulation, you will use the definitions again and again while interacting with a fun, engaging story.
Unlock security access Knowing these definitions back to front won't be enough to succeed in this mission. To pass this test you must apply your knowledge and prove your understanding. Are you up to the challenge?

For Science Programs Providing a Learning Advantage
North Dakota State College of Science
“They did the simulation at home, then completed the in-person lab within 30 minutes, no questions asked, and passed the quiz with flying colors.”
Lecturer in Human Physiology
University of Westminster
"I saw some of the students who clearly didn’t necessarily like sitting there reading a book discover they could turn on Labster and keep up with the rest of the class because it spoke to them.
Modesto City Schools
"Having something that's engaging for the students gives teachers that opportunity to breathe and get excited again. Because they're seeing the kids light up, they're seeing the kids engage with content."
Wenatchee Valley College
"The question always is, ‘Can we demonstrate that the students are meeting course outcomes?’ Check! We can do that.”
San José State University
"We surveyed over 400 students. More than 90% thought Labster was easy to navigate, and that it was fun, but more importantly, most of them felt confident that they could execute the labs in person. And that confidence is a big deal."
