Chemistry moves from in-person lab and the classroom to the computer, as working in a virtual chemistry laboratory and viewing simulations provide additional ways of learning chemistry.
Activities
- ACS Middle School Chemistry: Remote Learning Assignments from ACS
Each assignment contains videos, images, and questions keyed to the ACS Middle School curriculum. Users can copy any of the Google Forms to their Google Drive to edit and use. - Resources for Teaching Your Chemistry Class Online from Journal of Chemical Education
ACS Publications and the ACS Division of Chemical Education share a free collection of resources for online delivery. - Resources for Teaching Your Chemistry Class Online from Journal of Chemical Education

Demos
- Simulations from AACT
A collection of all the simulations created by the American Association of Chemistry Teachers. Several new simulations are added each year. Every simulation is open for teachers and students to access. - Animations from AACT
Each animation in this series can be used to help students make connections between macroscopic observations and the particulate phenomena that explain them. To view an Animation, click the Animation’s title. AACT Teacher Members can share Animations with students for 7 days by generating a Student Pass. - PhET Interactive Simulations from University of Colorado Boulder
Chemistry-based simulations, some translated into different languages. Search by subject and grade level. - MERLOT Materials: Chemistry Simulations from California State University
Descriptions and links to a large number of chemistry simulations, with peer review ratings and comments, and information on appropriate grade levels. - Chemistry Simulations from CK-12
A collection of simulations that cover topics like average atomic mass, solubility with rock candy, and freezing point depression with road salt.
Labs
- Virtual Lab Exercises from ChemReaX
Each of these virtual lab exercises focuses on a specific chemistry topic and requires students to perform multiple simulations in ChemReaX. Students may also have to perform additional calculations and analysis using the data collected from simulations.
Articles
- Whether and How Authentic Contexts Using a Virtual Chemistry Lab Support Learning from Journal of Chemical Education
Authors report on a study with high school chemistry students using virtual lab investigations, in a 2018 issue of the Journal of Chemical Education.
