The Chemistry Collective is a collection of virtual labs, scenario-based learning activities, and concepts tests which can be incorporated into a variety of teaching approaches as pre-labs, alternatives to textbook homework, and in-class activities for individuals or teams. It is organized by a group of faculty and staff at Carnegie Mellon University for college and high school teachers. |

This elegant and conceptually clear "learning tool" is called Gas Law Animation. Within a closed container students can adjust pressure, volume, and temperature. They can also increase and decrease the number of Helium and Neon atoms that enter the container. Make sure you click on the "click here" button for a great pdf that describes the instructions and more! Developed by Dr. John Gelder at the Department of Chemistry at Oklahoma State University. |

This simple and elegant learning tool is called Boyle's Law. Just press your space bar and drag the plunger to see the relationship between volume and pressure. The interactive creates a data table automatically and students can choose to test air, hydrogen, helium, or oxygen. This fun interactive was created by Thomas Greenbowe at Iowa State University. |
