My rating of this resource: ****

My experience using this resource:
Chemistry

Topic I was teaching:
I fould this while searching sites for Thermochemistry.

My learning goal for which this resource was used:
Students can learn concepts by interacting and performing experiments or looking at virtual dipictions.

Course Level:
A.P., Honors or Advanced, Intro or Regular

How I/my students used the resource:
Some of the applets can be used for my intro chemistry class, either by using them as a tool with the active board for further understanding or the site can be explored by students.

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

Strengths:
The applets can be used in lectures and also on web sites. It is also a great site for the students to explore. Intro chemistry students might need guidance/

Weaknesses:
Some computers might not be able to run the applets.
