ChemLab for windows is an interactive simulation of a chemistry lab. Common Lab equipment and procedures are used to simulate the steps involved in performing a chemistry lab experiment. Each lab simulation is contained in a separate simulation module, thus many different labs are possible using a common lab interface.

A lab simulation module contains code and resources, such as chemical list, indicator list, available menu options and instructions specific to each lab. New lab modules can be added to ChemLab by copying them to the program directory. These lab modules are in fact extensions of the main ChemLab program, which is a common interface for them.

ChemLab Design:
1. Easy to use lab interface modeled on common lab procedure
2. Student lab notebook workspace area
3. Real time animated interactive simulation engine
4. Lab Wizard tools for easy user created lab simulations
5. Support for plug-in lab simulations extensions
6. Demonstration mode, allows user to capture and replay a simulation.
7. Integration with RasMol molecular viewer
8. Integrated Periodic Table application with quiz
9. Available in English, Spanish and French

When ChemLab is started or a new file is created the simulation dialog box will open. From this dialog box pick a simulation module to load. This will load the text window with the instructions necessary to perform the lab. Read the lab introduction in the introduction text window. The introduction will explain the basic science behind the lab. After reading the lab introduction read the procedure. To select the procedure click the procedure tab above the text window. In the procedure you will find the basic steps to complete the lab, you should first read the procedure completely before attempting the lab. If you are not sure how to perform a certain action check the lab manual or help for directions. Then perform the lab following the steps in the procedure. While performing the procedure you can record your observations in the observation text window, these will be saved in the ChemLab file.
