4. Brief Description: 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
8. This simulation software is designed for
students in the intermediate and secondary
level.
Target learners:
9. Student’s roles:
Perform some lab experiments.
Use Lab Wizard steps through process of new lab
creation.
Publish chemical databases to add new chemicals.
Capture lab simulations as they perform it and save
in a a demo file.
Add notes and calculations to the experiments.
Be able to Explain results.
Be confident to make such simulations in real lab.
Share work with others.
10. Teacher’s roles:
Select and download the appropriate
simulations for the students.
Help students in performing experiments.
Make sure that all of the students have
understood explanations clearly.
Evaluates students ’ work.
The teacher can perform simulations himself
as well as students.
Create customized lab simulations.
