Whether your challenge is to introduce new computer technology to your curriculum, or bring the lab experience to on-line students or a need for an alternative to dangerous, expensive or environmentally hazardous labs, then Model ChemLab is the classroom proven solution for you.
Model ChemLab originated from academic work in computer simulation and software design at McMaster University. It has continued to be developed with extensive input from educators interested in the possible application of computer simulations for classroom and distance learning.
Model ChemLab is a unique product incorporating both an interactive simulation and a lab notebook workspace with separate areas for theory, procedures and student observations. Commonly used lab equipment and procedures are used to simulate the steps involved in performing an experiment. Users step-through the actual lab procedure while interacting with animated equipment in a way that is similar to the real lab experience.
ChemLab comes with a range of pre-designed lab experiments for general chemistry at the high school and college level. Users can expand upon the original lab set using ChemLab's LabWizard development tools, thus allowing for curriculum specific lab simulation development by educators. These user designed simulations combine both text based instructions and the simulation into a single distributable file.

Algebra One on One is an educational game for those wanting a fun way to learn and practice Algebra. This program covers 21 functions which includes maximums, minimums, absolute values, averages, x/y, ax + b, axy + b, ax + by + c, squares, cubes, and so on. It has a practice and a game area.
It has a great help system that makes it easy for the beginner to do and understand algebra. It also has a "Einstein" level that even algebra experts will find fun and challenging. You can choose from a ten problem, a time trial, or a two-player game. High scores are saved and you are given a rank according to your score. The ranks are Novice, Learner, Veteran, Calculator, Math Pro, Math Whiz, Math Genius, and Einstein.
The practice menu lets you practice each function individually. The game menu lets you choose one function, two functions, and so on up to 21 functions. You can choose from calculate value (1 x and 1y value and the equation to solve), choose formula (you figure out the equation using the given x, y, and z values), or figure formula and calculate (you figure out the equation and solve for the missing z value).
If you get stuck trying to figure out what the function (equation) is a hint will be displayed. If you choose the wrong answer it will help you figure out the right one. The calculate option combined with the practice game enables students to practice solving the problems in the area they are having trouble with.

Astro-Mania teaches all the important facts about 38 astronomical objects such as planets and stars. It has a learning database that includes essays, images, and lists of all the important facts for each of the 38 space objects. The space objects include the nine planets, stars and star types, asteroids, meteorites, galaxies, and more.
Games based on this database allow the player to connect to the facts in four different ways, enhancing learning. Not only do players connect the fact (or clue) to the name of the object as do traditional games, they also make three more connections. They are: matching the fact to the object's image, matching the name to the object's image, and finally matching one fact about the object to another one.
Additionally, Astro-Mania includes a review screen after each round. This review screen includes the part of the essay that relates to each fact. Thus, game players can read additional material about the fact to place it into context. This allows the players not only to know the fact but also to understand it.
Astro-Mania includes one study level and seven game levels. The seven game levels allow the player to advance sequentially, to master one level before tackling another. Level one is easy whereas level seven is quite hard, even for those who know astronomy. Each level includes a ranking so that players know exactly how they rate. Players will see their scores jump from Learner to Scientist and finally to Einstein.

Brain Builder - Math Edition includes over 500 million problems presented in a fun multimedia format. Sharpen your problem solving and critical thinking skills by tackling math puzzles that are presented at precisely your learning level. The program includes Multiple Choice Warm-up games and Three, Four, and Five Number Puzzle games. The problems are easy enough for a third grader to master, but at higher levels they will challenge even a math wizard. Watch your math scores climb dramatically as your rank advances from Learner all the way up to Math Genius.
There are three levels of Warm-up games (Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced). The Basic game lets you select addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to practice on. The Intermediate game randomly uses any one of the four operations. The Advanced game also uses any one of the four operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division in its problems. However, you must find ALL of the correct answers. For example if the question was 3 ? 6 = ? and your answer choices were 2, 3, 6, 9, and 18, you must click on four numbers (2, 6, 9 and 18). These Multiple Choice Warm-up games prepare you to play the Three, Four, and Five Number Puzzle games by making you familiar with using all of the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division in problem solving.
In the Three, Four, and Five Number Puzzle games you must solve the answer using ALL of the given puzzle numbers exactly ONCE. For example, a Three Number Puzzle puzzle problem is 3, 4, 5 = 2. The solution is 3+4 = 7, and 7-5=2. Each of the Three Number, Four Number and Five Number Puzzle games have four levels of difficulty.
As well, all games have two different modes of play. You can select the "10 problem" mode, or "time trial" mode in which you must correctly answer as many problems as you can within a fixed time limit.
Also features a special One-On-One combat option that makes math an exciting two-player game.
