Uva Virtual Lab: Nanoscience Class Home Page

No chemistry lab? No problem! Scholars use a virtual lab to determine the solubility product of four different chemicals. They then use the results of their experiments to see if higher solubility product values equal greater solubility.

Colorful cobalt complexes make a great way to learn about Le Chatelier! Eager chemists explore equilibrium through a virtual lab. Individuals use solutions with two different concentrations and observe the color changes that indicate...

Textbook problems with a twist! Young chemists analyze an ionic reaction to identify the limiting reagent. They then make calculations to determine the concentration of unknown solutions. Finally, they put their work to the test and...

Why do the bases in DNA pair up the way they do? Unravel the mystery of the double helix in a virtual lab. Young scientists follow in the footsteps of Watson and Crick to determine the free energy associated with DNA base pair binding....

There's no diluted learning here! Young chemists conduct a virtual lab exploration to practice their stoichiometry skills. By manipulating simulated solutions, they create a solution of a specific glucose molarity.

Combine a little solid and a little water and the solution is clear! An experimental lesson has individuals make calculations to create a sample solution of a given volume and molarity. They then create the solutions using a virtual lab...

Hiking chemists have an advantage! Young scholars use a virtual lab to conduct an experiment to create an exothermic reaction. The goal is to create enough heat to warm a meal during a hike in the rain.

Scanning Probe Microscopes position their sensing tips to precisions better than 10-10 meters (the size of a single atom!). This incredible control is based on the use of "piezoelectric crystals." These materials bend or shrink in the...
