Bertrand’s (University of Missouri–Rolla) page offers many simulated experiments, such as “The Case of the Five Droppers,” a virtual presentation of five reagents being combined in different ways. Blauch of Davidson College presents several interactive experiment simulations on topics such as equilibrium, kinetics, crystal structure, phase changes, gases, and more. This page, maintained by chemistry professor William Vining, has simulations that cover a wide range of chemistry concepts. General/Introductory Chemistry: Simulations.It is designed for high school (AP/IB) and undergraduate students and teachers. Users can model and simulate chemical reactions, focusing on thermodynamics, equilibrium, kinetics, and acid–base titrations, with accompanying virtual lab exercises. It also has tools for teachers and students to create their own. This drag-and-drop periodic table environment from Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry lets you experiment with different element combinations.īrowse “showcase” chemistry simulations, with many more available in the library. Give students titration practice virtually. Nearly two dozen simulations cover topics like average atomic mass, solubility with rock candy, and freezing point depression with road salt. “Interview” suspects by viewing videos, investigate the crime scene using images, and analyze evidence from the crime lab.Įxplore the chemistry of aspirin virtually with four levels of experiments, including synthesis, thin layer chromatography, and reaction conditions. This ChemCollective activity could be described as a murder mystery for chemistry students. The ChemCollective, organized by a group from Carnegie Mellon, shares virtual labs, simulations, and molecular level visualizations for chemistry (See “Resources by type” in site’s sidebar.) The Multimedia Educational Resource for Learning and Online Teaching (MERLOT) at the California State University has collected descriptions and links to a huge number of chemistry simulations, with peer review ratings and comments, and information on appropriate grade levels. MERLOT Materials: Chemistry Simulations.PhET, based at the University of Colorado at Boulder, offers over four dozen chemistry-based simulations, many translated into different languages. Users can copy any of the Google Forms to their Google Drive to edit and use. ACS Middle School Chemistry: Remote Learning AssignmentsĮach assignment contains videos, images, and questions keyed to the ACS Middle School curriculum.Every simulation is open for teachers and students to access. Several new simulations are added each year. I don't consider this one to even be part of the SimCity series.This page is a collection of all the simulations created by the American Association of Chemistry Teachers. SimCity Societies (2007) is a travesty.This sequel has 3D graphics, loads of different kinds of buildings, pretty views, different kinds of transportation, an editor where you can design your own buildings, and the regional map so multiple cities can interact with each other. SimCity 4 (2003) brought the franchise back to its original glory.SimCity 3000 (1999) is, unfortunately, quite badly produced.I found it just as addictive as the original, if not more. Besides its futuristic name, it had an isometric 3D view, more disasters, and a height map. SimCity 2000 (1994) is very different from the original and still considered the best game of the series.When it was published in 1989, it was one of the best games available for PC, and it still holds up. I saw those little white blocks of cars moving down the road whenever I closed my eyes. When I first played SimCity it was love at first sight.


Eventually, you can fight for your colony's independence. While the main principles are the same, you have to deal with your country's queen and meddling homeland government. (2006) This installment is quite different.

(2003) This sequel introduced bigger islands, more complex buildings and military, and different resources from 1602. There's also a military and combat aspect to the gameplay.Īnno is an enormous franchise. The game focuses on the colony's economy, and it's very tough to both turn a profit and still make your colony pretty. The basic premise involves landing on an island and effectively managing resources in order to build up a profitable colony.
#Online simulation games series
The Anno series games are about colony- and empire-building.
