Each of these links goes to either a problem with its description,
or, in the case of the scenarios, to a new website.
All of the activities are Windows compatible. The Virtual Lab also
runs on Mac OSX 10.1 or higher.
Mixed Reception A murder mystery activity in which students use concepts of molecular weight and stoichiometry
to solve the case (uses video and other multimedia).
Meals-Ready-to-Eat A thermochemistry problem about heating food while camping (a virtual lab activity).
Cyanine Dyes - DNA Combines equilibrium with UV/VIS spectroscopy to explore dyes that self-assemble into DNA
templates (uses the virtual lab and a UV/VIS spectrometer simulation).
Acid Mine Drainage An activity in which students examine the chemistry of
acidic mine runoff and its effects on river water.
Ozone Interpret raw data to determine the rate law and mechanism of stratospheric
ozone depeletion (a paper and pencil activity).
Mission Critical Chemistry A thermochemistry problem in which students work collaboratively to develop a new fuel
for a mission to Mars (uses the virtual lab and simulations).
Arsenic in Drinking Water Set in Bangladesh, this stoichiometry and analytical chemistry activity examines the issues around
identifying and remedying wells contaminated with arsenic (a Virtual Lab activity, still under
construction).
Virtual Lab A general Lab simulation for aqueous chemistry. Available in multiple languages.
Stoichiometry A visualization of limiting reagent calculations.
Equilibrium Extends the stoichiometry simulation to chemical equilibrium.
Periodic Table A periodic table that includes electronic configurations.
Why Things Have Color A visualization of the relation between energy levels and a substance's color.
Spectroscopic Simulator A simulation of the vibrational/rotational spectrum of a diatomic molecule
(for physical chemistry courses).
Statistical Mechanical Simulator
A visualization of the partition function and thermodynamic properties of a few-level
quantum system (for physical chemistry courses).
