Virtual Chemistry Experiments are a collection of interative web-based chemistry tutorials. The tutorials employ Physlets and Chemistry Applets to simulate experiments or depict molecular and atomic structure. The guiding concept is to involve the read in making observations and acquiring data, and then using this information to draw conclusions and infer chemical principles.

"Virtual Experiments have been recorded at Reading in physics and in other areas of science. Some examples are listed below. In the first section experiments most suitable for schools are listed, following this are experiments more suited to higher levels. The repertoire of VEs is constantly being increased."

The word "Exploriment" is a portmanteau of "Explore" and "Experiment", and combines the sensibilities of both words. The philosophy of Exploriments is to encourage true scientific temper by creating a safety net in which experimentation can progress without fear of failure, spills, expense or mishaps. An Exploriment is a visual, interactive environment created by a computer program. It is a personal virtual laboratory for Physics, Chemistry and Math learning.
