Whether your challenge is to introduce new computer
technology to your curriculum, or bring the lab
experience to on-line students or a need for an
alternative to dangerous, expensive or
environmentally hazardous labs, then Model ChemLab is
the classroom proven solution for you.
Model ChemLab originated from academic work in
computer simulation and software design at McMaster
University. It has continued to be developed with
extensive input from educators interested in the
possible application of computer simulations for
classroom and distance learning.
Model ChemLab is a unique product incorporating both
an interactive simulation and a lab notebook
workspace with separate areas for theory, procedures
and student observations. Commonly used lab equipment
and procedures are used to simulate the steps
involved in performing an experiment. Users step-
through the actual lab procedure while interacting
with animated equipment in a way that is similar to
the real lab experience.
ChemLab comes with a range of pre-designed lab
experiments for general chemistry at the high school
and college level. Users can expand upon the original
lab set using ChemLab's LabWizard development tools,
thus allowing for curriculum specific lab simulation
development by educators. These user designed
simulations combine both text based instructions and
the simulation into a single distributable file.
