"What is Virtlab?
Virtlab is a series of hands-on experiments and demonstrations using a simulated chemistry laboratory. Students can also build their own simulations using electronic spreadsheets.
Our authors pioneered this approach and have refined it over many years. We are among the first educators in the world to integrate personal computers and science education."
The Molecular Workbench (MW) software:
Is a modeling tool for designing and conducting computational experiments across science.
Provides an authoring system for instructional designers to create
and publish model and simulation-based curriculum materials.
Delivers an interactive learning environment that supports
science inquiry.
Is free and open-source.
"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."
