Virtual chemistry set is available for the iPad
The ChemCrafter app is an educational tool that lets burgeoning chemists and chemical engineers build their own virtual laboratory to run experiments using an iPad. The Chem-o-converter functionality measures energy released and lets users gain points that unlock new experiments and access to additional equipment and chemicals. Embedded strategy guides lead the user through experiments with water, acids and salts, displaying results with visual color changes, fire and smoke simulations, gas releases and shattering equipment, where relevant. — Chemical Heritage Foundation, Philadelphia, Pa.
