My rating of this resource: ****

My experience using this resource:
Chemistry

Topic I was teaching:
Acid and Base

My learning goal for which this resource was used:
To prepare students to do an actual titration in the laboratory.

Course Level:
Intro or Regular

How I/my students used the resource:
Students used this in class the day before the lab in order to prepare them for the procedure. They also used it as a resource for their calculations.

Value Added:
Provides visualization or animation, Provides a virtual lab, Provides practice or tutorial, Increases student engagement and motivation

Strengths:
This was a very good tool because it helped students with a very difficult and intricate procedure. I liked that it used the variation in color of the indicator between light and dark so the students can get a feel for the actual end point.

Weaknesses:
It is involved and the students will have to take some time with it. Unless it is explained in detail the numerous options can be overwhelming.
