Each of these links goes to either a problem with its description,
or, in the case of the scenarios, to a new website.
All of the activities are Windows compatible. The Virtual Lab also
runs on Mac OSX 10.1 or higher.

- Mixed Reception
A murder mystery activity in which students use concepts of molecular weight and stoichiometry
to solve the case (uses video and other multimedia).
- Meals-Ready-to-Eat
A thermochemistry problem about heating food while camping (a virtual lab activity).
- Cyanine Dyes - DNA
Combines equilibrium with UV/VIS spectroscopy to explore dyes that self-assemble into DNA
templates (uses the virtual lab and a UV/VIS spectrometer simulation).
- Acid Mine Drainage
An activity in which students examine the chemistry of
acidic mine runoff and its effects on river water.
- Ozone
Interpret raw data to determine the rate law and mechanism of stratospheric
ozone depeletion (a paper and pencil activity).
- Mission Critical Chemistry
A thermochemistry problem in which students work collaboratively to develop a new fuel
for a mission to Mars (uses the virtual lab and simulations).
- Arsenic in Drinking Water
Set in Bangladesh, this stoichiometry and analytical chemistry activity examines the issues around
identifying and remedying wells contaminated with arsenic (a Virtual Lab activity, still under
construction).
