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

This page will walk you through fixing the most common issues that users have playing Sandboxels.
+
+
BEFORE YOU READ
+
Ensure that you are playing on the official website, sandboxels.R74n.com. We cannot ensure it will work elsewhere.
+
Most issues are with mods, which are created by the community and not fixed by the Sandboxels developer.
+
Even if you don't remember enabling a mod, clear them with the following steps:
+
+ - Open Sandboxels.
+ - Find and press the Settings button at the end of the toolbar.
+ - Scroll to the bottom of the Settings, and press the Clear Mods button.
+ - Hit "OK" and make sure your webpage refreshes.
+
+
If you've done all of this and it hasn't fixed it, please find your issue below.
+
+
Loading screen takes forever
+
The loading screen should not last more than a few seconds. This means that something has crashed the webpage before it could finish loading.
+
This is usually because of a mod, so follow the steps above.
+
If you've done those steps, it may be that you are using an unsupported or outdated browser. Try a different one, like Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.
+
+
Screen flickers or stays black unless paused
+
The canvas may flicker or disappear if an error occurs when trying to simulate certain pixels.
+
Pausing should fix this temporarily, during which you can delete the offending pixels, or follow the steps above to uninstall any mods.
+
+
Cannot access webpage
+
If you cannot access the official Sandboxels website, it could be one of a few things.
+
Your network connection may be unstable, make sure you are connected to the Internet with Wi-Fi or something else.
+
Your school or employer may be blocking the website. It would be best to contact them explaining its educational and scientific uses.
+
While unlikely, there could also be an outage in one of the services we use.
