Instructional Ideas

• Apply the virtual lab and associated worksheet as homework

Classroom Considerations

• Instructors should test the program to see if it is appropriate for their learners
• Pupils should already be familiar with solubility and solubility product

Pros

• Useful when chemicals and/or lab equipment is scarce
• Includes a video that helps explain how to use the virtual lab

Cons

• Program has a steep learning curve and may be difficult for scholars to use
