What Virtual ChemLab is
Virtual ChemLab is Savvas desktop software that lets students perform chemistry experiments in a simulated laboratory. It is presented within the Chemistry © 2017 program and includes a high school version with the General Chemistry Laboratory, an electronic workbook, and five lab benches. The listed simulations cover inorganic qualitative analysis, calorimetry, titrations, gases, and quantum mechanics. More broadly, Savvas describes investigations of gas properties, calorimetry, titrations, qualitative analysis, and quantum chemistry. Workbook assignments link to the matching bench with the experiment prepared. In the inorganic simulation, students can prepare test tubes, create randomized practice unknowns, add reagents, and carry out lab procedures. The tutorial includes an on-screen help menu, while detailed user guides are installed with the software. Savvas directs customers to its Service Center for product, order, account, and technical questions. Pricing is on request, and no license limits are stated. The product is intended for chemistry classrooms and high school learners.
