More Virtual Chemistry Labs

Here's another site that offers free virtual chemistry labs.

When I registered and checked out what was available, it seems like they're holding out on the free accounts (as expected) and they sort of limit your access. So what is available is pretty limited.

Also, the site is a bit difficult to navigate at first, so you should probably mess around with it for some time before actually using it in a class setting. There's a lot that you could probably do with this since it is very thorough and provides a great depth of information for students to learn autonomously through the lab activities, however it's not the most aesthetically appealing labs to use... But since when did that ever matter, right?

Update: Once you register, you get some e-mails from the owner who walks you through how to incorporate the activities and use the activities. I haven't asked for "Upgraded" access since I have no need for it but I'm sure it would cost something...

Anyway, it's been added to Chemistry as Flash - "Free?" VR Labs.
