Make it real: Simulation of 3D molecules using Augmented Reality in chemical bonding topic

Abstract

The chemical bonding is one of the crucial topics in chemistry as it becomes a basic concept to comprehend other topics. Unfortunately, it is difficult for students to understand because it is at the submicroscopic level. This study proposes a way to comprehend that topic by developing a simulation of 3D molecules using Augmented Reality (AR). The data was collected by questionnaire. This study was used ADDIE procedure to develop the product. From the results of this study, it can be concluded that the Augmented Reality learning media has a very good quality and is worthy of being used as a supporting media in chemical learning activities in the chemical bond topic.
