Real World Laboratory Opportunities for Highschool Students Everywhere
Glassware Showcase
Showcase of proper chemistry glassware, tools, and instruments found in professional labs.
Safety Lab
Learn to overcome lab hazards such as burns, broken glassware, and chemical spills. Don’t forget to wear your PPE!
Flame Test Lab
Determine the heat capacity of different metals using a calorimeter and the MCΔT Equation.
Hydrate Lab
Determine the amount of water molecules in a given salt-hydrate sample.
Heat Capacity Lab
Identify different elements by their ionization color using a Bunsen burner.
Precipitation Lab
Discover what kinds of solutions will create a precipitate when mixed with silver nitrate.
Radiation Lab
Step into a virtual nuclear lab where students uncover hidden radioactive elements using a Geiger counter and analyze real-time data to identify unknown isotopes. Watch as different forms of radiation interact with shielding materials, revealing the penetrating power of alpha, beta, and gamma particles in an unforgettable hands-on experiment.
Explosion Lab
Unleash the explosive power of the alkali metals as students safely handle and react elements like sodium and potassium with water, witnessing dramatic reactions firsthand in VR. Using the periodic table and observed reactivity, students must deduce which metal they’ve tested in this thrilling introduction to group trends.
