Chemistry moves from in-person lab and the classroom to the computer, as working in a virtual chemistry laboratory and viewing simulations provide additional ways of learning chemistry.
Activities
- from ACS
Each assignment contains videos, images, and questions keyed to the ACS Middle School curriculum. Users can copy any of the Google Forms to their Google Drive to edit and use. - from Journal of Chemical Education
ACS Publications and the ACS Division of Chemical Education share a free collection of resources for online delivery. - from Journal of Chemical Education

Demos
- from AACT
A collection of all the simulations created by the American Association of Chemistry Teachers. Several new simulations are added each year. Every simulation is open for teachers and students to access. - from AACT
Each animation in this series can be used to help students make connections between macroscopic observations and the particulate phenomena that explain them. To view an Animation, click the Animation鈥檚 title. AACT Teacher Members can share Animations with students for 7 days by generating a Student Pass. - from University of Colorado Boulder
Chemistry-based simulations, some translated into different languages. Search by subject and grade level. - from California State University
Descriptions and links to a large number of chemistry simulations, with peer review ratings and comments, and information on appropriate grade levels. - from CK-12
A collection of simulations that cover topics like average atomic mass, solubility with rock candy, and freezing point depression with road salt.
Labs
- from ChemReaX
Each of these virtual lab exercises focuses on a specific chemistry topic and requires students to perform multiple simulations in ChemReaX. Students may also have to perform additional calculations and analysis using the data collected from simulations.
