FAU Tutorials and Virtual Lab Activities

In the following activities, you will be using the ChemCollective virtual laboratory. This software allows you to design and carry out your own experiments, much as you would in a real chemistry lab. This flexible simulation will run on most computers without any additional installation. (The virtual lab requires the Java Plug-In and the Firefox web browser. If you do not already have it installed, the page will prompt you with download instructions). Before you begin, please watch the 3-minute instructional video which shows how to use the virtual lab.

Using the Virtual Lab

• Virtual Lab Demonstration Movie: A 3 minute YouTube video describing how to use the virtual lab.


• Required Java software for Windows | Required Java software for Macintosh
  The Virtual lab requires the Java plug-in. If the experiment pages do not load completely, you may need to install this software on your computer. Note: The Virtual lab will run on Windows or Macintosh OS 10.6 or higher


• Windows and Macintosh users: please use FireFox web browser.
