Choose the metal of your electrode, then the solution, turn on the electricity and watch your Electrolysis "learning tool" run. This textured and elegant demonstration is brought to us by the Department of Chemistry at Iowa State University.

The name of this "learning tool" is called Qualitative Analysis of Anions. Simple, elegant, and conceptually clear students must identify an unknown by using the reagents and the equipment provided on the Lab Bench. When you get to the site, after you read the one page Lab Manual, make sure you click on the Lab Bench tab. This tremendous interactive is brought to us by ChemLab at Dartmouth University.

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 Carnegie Mellon University. Make sure you try the Virtual Lab Simulator. It is incredible!

This elegant yet sophisticated "learning tool" is called Electrolysis Simulation. Just add power and acid to begin the reaction. Watch the results as they are graphed as the reaction proceeds. This wonderful tool was developed by Aotea Interactive Media of New Zealand. 

The name of this "learning tool" is called Qualitative Analysis of Cations. Simple, elegant, and conceptually clear students must identify an unknown by using the reagents and the equipment provided on the Lab Bench. When you get to the site, after you read the one page Lab Manual, make sure you click on the Lab Bench tab. This tremendous interactive is brought to us by ChemLab at Dartmouth University.

Change the number of marble chips (1,10, or 100) and the strength of the acid they are in and then see the results. This simple and elegant "learning tool" is called Marble Chips Simulation. Students can get an idea of the effect of surface area and reactivity. This wonderful tool was developed by Aotea Interactive Media of New Zealand.

ChemCases.com is a web-based resource of curriculum supplements for teaching the second semester general chemistry course. Each case study features a number of the basic principles covered in a traditional general chemistry curriculum. They use these concepts to address the decisions that influence development of successful consumer, agricultural and pharmaceutical products.
