DESCRIPTION
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.
COMMENTS
For our project is this web page very interesting becouse is one of the approaches for University level. 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.
ChemLab Design:

Easy to use lab interface modeled on common lab procedure
Student lab notebook workspace area
Real time animated interactive simulation engine
Lab Wizard tools for easy user created lab simulations
Support for plug-in lab simulations extensions
Demonstration mode, allows user to capture and replay a simulation.
Integration with RasMol molecular viewer
Integrated Periodic Table application with quiz
Available in English, Spanish and French
NAME OF THE REVIEWING ORGANISATION

Message: This is an innovative resource that is fun to use and has a great deal of potential for Chemistry teachers at any level and for any type of course. It simulates laboratory experiments by providing lab procedures, apparatus and chemicals for students to run experiments. The ability to customise the existing activities and to include new ones using the Lab Wizard is a particularly attractive feature of this product. In addition, the software designers are easy to contact and open to ideas.
