Simulation of a wet chemistry lab. The Virtual Lab is an online simulation of a chemistry lab. It is designed to help students link chemical computations with authentic laboratory chemistry. The lab allows students to select from hundreds of standard reagents (aqueous) and manipulate them in a manner resembling a real lab.

This project case study offers a mixed review, but with one valuable conclusion: student prefer to use Facebook for communication and will voluntarily participate in academic discussions.

This is a really good site with loads of physics and chemistry simulations on everything from the greenhouse effect to electron diffraction.

This is a phenomenal collection of science simulations. I've used them both as a demonstration on my SMARTboard to drive home some point and as labs where students use the simulations to discover key points on their own.

An interactive periodic table. It is more than just a quick demographic list of information.

Nancy Kaplan and Ananda Gunawardena write about the use of Classroom Salon, a social media network designed for collaboration in the higher education setting. They found that Classroom Salon was not effective in helping students in the chemistry class, but was in the biology class.
