# < Sandboxels in Education

Sandboxels is a free experimentation simulator that can be played in any web browser. It features heat simulation, electricity, density, chemical reactions, cooking, and fire spread.

## Impact on Students

Students are given a hands-on experience with over 400 unique interactive materials. They can see the effects of their actions in real time.

For instance, if a student decides to pour Water over a pile of Sodium, they will witness one of hundreds of chemical reactions. Maybe they decide to freeze it and see what happens.

This learning approach offers in-depth understanding of phenomena in many fields, such as biology, chemistry, ecology, geology, cooking, and even virology.

Community members tell us how they learn things from simply playing casually.

## Impact on Teachers

Educators are able to plan experiments for their students to perform, which provides plenty of fun yet informative class content.

Some fun ideas:

- Density tests - Alcohol, Water, and Mercury
- Flame colors - Methane, Sulfur, and Alcohol
- Uranium + Neutron fission reaction
- Baking Soda + Vinegar, a classic
- Burning Wood with Fire
- Copper and Gold alloy - Unique melting points
