Quizmico

Quizmico is a RED in the Natural Sciences area and its technologies

Natural Sciences and Its Technologies, designed in accordance with the

National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) by the V-Lab do

Computer Center (CIn) of the Federal University of Pernambuco

(UFPE), in cooperation with the Secretariat of Basic Education (SEB) of the

Ministry of Education (MEC). It aims to support the process of

learning and development of skills and abilities

referring to the object of knowledge Organic functions: hydrocarbons

and oxygenated functions (BNCC Skill: EM13CNT104).

Quizmico is a game of the Quiz genre, in which we have questions and

answers and, to advance through the phases and complete the game, the player must

try to answer as many questions correctly as possible. In this case, all

questions are of the identification and association type, as RED demands that

the person is able to identify the functional groups of the different

compounds, and to associate them with their organic function. We assume the

character of an alchemist (the same as RED Alquímica) who needs

rearrange the glassware in his laboratory, which accidentally exploded and

It's completely messed up. The objective of the game is to return the

chemical reagents, identified through labels that present the

structural formula of the compound, to the correct shelves, each

corresponding to a certain organic function.

RED addresses organic functions: hydrocarbon, acid

carboxylic, ester, ether, enol, phenol, alcohol, ketone and aldehyde, whose formulas

molecular elements appear in different forms of representation. When switching

representations, the game demands from the student the ability to

distinguish between similar functional groups (see alcohol, enol and phenol, or

aldehyde and ketone, for example), focusing on what type and how many

chemical bonds are formed and analyzing the hybridization of atoms

carbon.
