Chemgames.com
is a subsidiary of Blue Eagle Enterprises which is owned by Dr.
Joseph Chimeno. Professor Chimeno teaches chemistry at the College
of Eastern Utah. He has been teaching chemistry for over twenty-seven
years, primarily at the college level.
Over the years, Professor Chimeno realized the difficulty that
students had with chemical nomenclature. Thus, he developed the
Rainbow Wheel and later the software version,
the Rainbow Matrix. Students have really
benefited from the use of both the Rainbow Wheel and the Rainbow
Matrix. In addition to the Chemical Nomenclature Games, Professor
Chimeno has developed two Virtual Chemistry Labs: Intro
Chemistry and Organic Chemistry,
consisting of at least 12 different chemistry experiments in each.
We hope that you enjoy these educational tools. Below are comments
from other chemistry instructors describing their experience with
the Nomenclature Games.
"Our students have really benefited from the use of the Rainbow
Matrix"...Roma Advani...Prairie State College
"We have had great success this year using the Rainbow Matrix game. Every level, from beginning to advanced placement chemistry, has found it helpful. The game provides a fun yet accurate assessment that with regular use strengthens mastery of essential state science standards. Since chemistry is a foundational discipline even other science classes like our anatomy & physiology will be incorporating it into their instructional strategies. Highly recommended."
...Dr. Branton Lachman...Science Chair...Santiago High School...Corona, CA
"I ordered the nomenclature wheel. I am writing to tell you that
I visited the matrix web site and within 15 minutes I actually understood
what had previously taken me 4 days to try to understand. I rate
this an A++. Thanks alot."...Kathy Parris...Student
