Learning Objectives

At the end of this simulation, you will be able to:
  • Clarify the notion of an atom.
  • Describe the characteristics of the fundamental subatomic constituents: protons, neutrons, and electrons.
  • Provide definitions for atomic number and atomic mass.
  • Define isotopes.
  • Comprehend the fundamentals of the quantum atomic model and articulate the importance of the four quantum numbers.

How do virtual labs work?

Enhance students' involvement in science by immersing them in interactive learning scenarios. Create simulations for experiments, provide hands-on training in laboratory techniques, and convey theoretical concepts through captivating visual experiences to improve their overall long-term learning outcomes.

  • Access over 300 web-based simulations that are compatible with laptops, Chromebooks, tablets, and iPads, eliminating the need for software installation.
  • Incorporate a teacher dashboard for automated grading and monitoring of student progress.
  • Utilize embedded quizzes to assist students in mastering scientific content.
  • Comprehensive repository of educational materials, including learning resources, lab reports, videos, theory pages, graphics, and more.
