The "Atomarium" is a program that allows the visualization of different basic concepts in teaching chemistry at different levels such as aggregate states, phase transitions, vapour pressure or the temperature dependence of the pressure, diffusion, osmosis, transformation of potential in kinetic energy, cristallization, cristal types. The program allows students to explore the atomic level with fascinating pictures in a 2- or 3- dimensional mode. The Atomarium as a simulation program allows to explore and investigate the influence of different parameters. The program offers on one hand different "experiments" that are easy to demonstrate for teachers in classroms or to be explored by students. On the other hand the Atomarium allows the user to create own set ups and experiments. The program was developed some years ago by our high school students Daniel Schäppi and Johannes Keller. It will be presented for the first time in the US at this ACS meeting.
