Lab objectives and outcomes

Students will be able to identify the observable signs of a chemical reaction, such as color change, gas production, or temperature shift, when interacting with different substances.
Students will be able to differentiate between a chemical change and a physical change by analyzing the observed outcomes of substance interactions within the simulation.
Students will be able to explain how specific observable changes (e.g., color, gas, temperature) serve as evidence that a new substance has been formed during a chemical reaction.

Powered by SimGenie AI

SimGenie acts as a built-in lab assistant. A learner who gets stuck can ask for a hint by voice, and it adapts its guidance to what they are doing in the scene.

Reaction Rates [Timed Unguided]

A simulation where learners explore how factors like temperature, concentration, surface area, and catalysts affect reaction rates, using visual graphs and molecular models to observe changes over time.
