We reported on our first attempt at the application of the HaptiChem system to chemical education. The chemistry class that used the system was stimulated into thinking more deeply about and widely imagining science and encouraged to study with more curiosity. These are the results from students who basically liked chemistry, but sufficiently demonstrated the effectiveness of the HaptiChem system in chemical education. This is a report of a first pilot experiment with a simple haptic system. More detailed experiments and analyses are needed to quantitatively measure the effectiveness of haptic systems in education. Such further investigations should be possible in the modern age by using more effective tools developed with the modern technologies. Since the first trial class in 2007,
