Computer Simulations
This is a fantastic freeware resource developed by Boyan Mihailov. It is a virtual lab with a variety of functions that can be used in conjunction with, in replacement of, or as a supplement to a real lab experiment. It is great for those students who may have had to miss a lab as well. It is just the platform and as such requires planning on the part of the teacher as to how to put it to best use. It is put under this section because it is quite easy to create precipitate reactions using this software, but could be placed anywhere within the chemistry curriculum that an experiment could.

This is a JAVA run computer simulation that allows students to investigate salts and solubility. They are able to achieve a dynamic equilibrium with a solid precipitate as well as compare the number of ions in solution for highly soluble NaCl to other slightly soluble salts. They can relate the charges on ions to the number of ions in the formula of a salt and calculate Ksp values. Click below to download this simulation courtesy of the University of Colorado-PhET.
