The only simulation of its kind on the market, Virtual ChemLab for General Chemistry provides a 3D environment on the computer where students feel as though they are in the experiment. The simulations are designed to teach the cognitive processes behind introductory level laboratories with a focus on the decisions a student should make, not how a student should perform an experiment. Perfect for pre-lab or post-lab assignments. Available in CD or network versions.

• First of its kind laboratory simulation.

  • Provides students with a sophisticated simulation that offers an interface where they can make choices and learn in as little as 15 minutes.

• Cognitive process focus—Thinking process developed along with laboratory techniques.

  • Encourages students to think about solutions and decisions in the lab rather than simply laboratory technique.

• 3-D environment—Immerses students in the virtual laboratory.

  • Enables students to feel that they are a part of the experiment so that they can understand the thought processes behind the procedures.

• Inorganic qualitative analysis simulation—Enables students to add in any order and in any combination to test tubes that can be manipulated in the virtual laboratory.

  • Provides students with real pictures and real video showing results of their additions of 11 reagents that can be separated to identify the 26 cations.

• Quantum laboratory.

  • Allows students to explore and better understand the foundational experiments that led to the development of quantum mechanics.

• Multiple experiments available in laboratory—e.g. Thompson's measurement of the charge to mass ratio of the electron; Rutherford's backscattering experiment; Planck's blackbody radiation, Millikan's oil drop experiment; the photoelectric effect; emission spectra of gases, two slit diffraction and more.

  • Provides students with a safe environment in which they are not restricted in what they can do where the results are fast, accessible and inexpensive.

• Companion workbooks.

  • Allows students to do paper assignments. Provides instructors with hundreds of options for assignments.

General Chemistry Laboratory  (Chemistry)

Virtual ChemLab: General Chemistry Laboratories is a collection of realistic simulations of several general chemistry experiments. In these laboratories, students are put into a virtual environment where they are free to make the choices and decisions that they would confront in an actual instructional laboratory setting and, in turn, experience the resulting consequences. It can be used to replace or supplement a wet lab, for pre-laboratory or post-laboratory activities, or for classroom demonstration and assignments.

The general features of the inorganic simulation include 26 cations that can be added to test tubes in any combination, 11 reagents that can be added to the test tubes in any sequence and any number of times, and necessary laboratory manipulations. This results in excess of 10¹⁶ possible outcomes. The simulation uses over 2,500 actual pictures to show the results of reactions and over 220 videos to show the different flame tests.

The purpose of the quantum laboratory is to allow students to explore and better understand the foundational experiments that led to the development of quantum mechanics. A partial list of some of the experiments that can be performed in this laboratory includes Thompson's measurement of the charge to mass ratio of the electron, Rutherford's backscattering experiment, Planck's blackbody radiation, Millikan's oil drop experiment, the photoelectric effect, emission spectra of gases, two slit diffraction, plus many others.
