Abstract

We developed and explored four increasing levels of embodied interaction as atoms to support chemistry students in grasping the forces and energy changes involved in chemical bonding. Current results show an increase in students' conceptual understanding in all four levels with the highest learning gain among students who felt the forces using a haptic device.
