![]() Teacher Doug Ragan describes several apps that he uses in a unit on atomic structure. Teacher Stephanie O’Brien describes her use of the PhET simulation Molecule Shapes as part of a VSEPR activity. Examining VSEPR through the Cross Cutting Concept of Patterns. ![]() Whether and How Authentic Contexts Using a Virtual Chemistry Lab Support LearningĪuthors report on a study with high school chemistry students using virtual lab investigations, in a 2018 issue of the Journal of Chemical Education.Resources for Teaching Your Chemistry Class OnlineĪCS Publications and the ACS Division of Chemical Education share a free collection of resources during Covid.The author describes the work of Professor David Yaron to create and to share resources for chemistry educators during Covid. He provides links for digital and video resources he created. Teacher Chad Husting makes suggestions for how to proceed in the uncertain Covid environment. Teacher Ben Meacham describes two commercially available options to consider for lab in a digital environment. Filling the Void: Options for Authentic Investigations Online.Teacher Josh Kenney describes his plan for combining videos of him performing lab experiments with simulations. A Virtual Lab Format for Online Teaching During COVID-19.Bertrand’s (University of Missouri–Rolla) page offers many simulated experiments, such as “The Case of the Five Droppers,” a virtual presentation of five reagents being combined in different ways. Blauch of Davidson College presents several interactive experiment simulations on topics such as equilibrium, kinetics, crystal structure, phase changes, gases, and more. This page, maintained by chemistry professor William Vining, has simulations that cover a wide range of chemistry concepts. General/Introductory Chemistry: Simulations.It is designed for high school (AP/IB) and undergraduate students and teachers. ![]() Users can model and simulate chemical reactions, focusing on thermodynamics, equilibrium, kinetics, and acid–base titrations, with accompanying virtual lab exercises. It also has tools for teachers and students to create their own. 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. MERLOT Materials: Chemistry Simulations.PhET, based at the University of Colorado at Boulder, offers over four dozen chemistry-based simulations, many translated into different languages. Users can copy any of the Google Forms to their Google Drive to edit and use. ACS Middle School Chemistry: Remote Learning AssignmentsĮach assignment contains videos, images, and questions keyed to the ACS Middle School curriculum.Every simulation is open for teachers and students to access. Several new simulations are added each year. This page is a collection of all the simulations created by the American Association of Chemistry Teachers.
