This drag-and-drop periodic table environment from Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry lets you experiment with different element combinations.īrowse “showcase” chemistry simulations, with many more available in the library. Give students titration practice virtually. Nearly two dozen simulations cover topics like average atomic mass, solubility with rock candy, and freezing point depression with road salt. “Interview” suspects by viewing videos, investigate the crime scene using images, and analyze evidence from the crime lab.Įxplore the chemistry of aspirin virtually with four levels of experiments, including synthesis, thin layer chromatography, and reaction conditions. This ChemCollective activity could be described as a murder mystery for chemistry students. The ChemCollective, organized by a group from Carnegie Mellon, shares virtual labs, simulations, and molecular level visualizations for chemistry (See “Resources by type” in site’s sidebar.) The Multimedia Educational Resource for Learning and Online Teaching (MERLOT) at the California State University has collected descriptions and links to a huge number of chemistry simulations, with peer review ratings and comments, and information on appropriate grade levels.

Several new simulations are added each year. This page is a collection of all the simulations created by the American Association of Chemistry Teachers.
