1. After starting CD-ROM there appears the introduction
to Virtual Chemistry Lab.
|
2. You see the entrance window. You should register.
To do this go to the registration form (move the cursor to the indicated
zone and go to the next screen clicking on the left button of the
mouse).
|
3. Please, fill this form out, for example, by 1
to every cell. Press the "Вход" (“Enter”) button to go
to the main menu.
|
4. This is the main menu of the CD-ROM. There is
the pedagogical agent “Chemist”. Let’s do the laboratory
sessions now. Choose section 2 “Properties of inorganic substances”
(move the cursor to the indicated zone and go to the next screen clicking
on the left button of the mouse).
|
5. This is the laboratory sessions menu of section
2 “Properties of inorganic substances”. Let’s go
to Laboratory session 3 “Properties of acids and bases”
(move the cursor to point 3 and go to the next screen clicking on
the left button of the mouse).
|
6. Let’s go to experiment 6 “Reaction
of acids and bases with salts” (move the cursor to point 6 and
go to the next screen clicking on the left button of the mouse).
|
7. You see the experiment screen. Before you start
working, get acquainted with the instruction. To start the experiment
close the instruction (move the cursor to the indicated zone and go
to the next screen clicking on the left button of the mouse).
|
8. Let’s set up the experiment. The pedagogical
agent “Chemist” and the instructions in the lower part
of the screen will help you. If you want to switch the sound off click
on “Chemist”.
To perform the experiment you should “take” a test-tube
(move the cursor to the test-tube and click on the left button of
the mouse).
|
9. To select a chemical, bring a mouse cursor to
one of the vessels on the shelves in the left-hand part of the screen
(according to the instruction) and click on the left button of the
mouse.
|
10. To “pour in” the chemical solution,
it is necessary to move the cursor into the zone of the vessel, to
press on and retain the left button of the mouse until the necessary
quantity of a chemical doesn’t pour into the test-tube.
|
11. After filling of the test-tube, the vessel with
the chemical returns to its place automatically.
|
12. Let’s add the second chemical solution
in the same way having selected one of the vessels on shelves in the
right-hand part of the screen.
|
13. After mixing of chemical solutions, the chemical
reaction happens, which one can follow-up be watched in a window of
increase.
|
14. We can use “Electronic workbook”
for experiment's report. For filling out the “Electronic workbook”
during the experiment you can remember the ongoing visual events using
the “Camera”. When chemical reactions happen the “Camera”
is actuated in reminder mode (blink).
|
15. “To snapshot” it is necessary to
put the cursor to the “Camera”, click on the left button
of the mouse, drag a “photo” window to the area of a screen
which interests you and click on the left button of the mouse once
again.
|
16. When the reaction is over, the “Editor
of Chemical Equations” is automatically activated giving the
possibility to write equations of chemical reactions. To continue
the work it is necessary to move a mouse cursor to the upper right
corner of the Editor' window and to click on the left button of the
mouse.
|
17. All your observations can be written down into
the “Electronic Workbook” which is activated automatically
after the completion of an experiment or its part. The “Electronic
Workbook” can be activated at any moment by clicking on an icon
in a lower right-hand part of the screen. To shut the window click
on the upper right corner of it.
|
18. Clicking on an “Observation” area
of the “Electronic Workbook” you can look through the
saved pictures.
|
19. To move the picture into the “Electronic
Workbook” it is necessary to click on it with the left button
of the mouse.
|
20. The picture is saved in the “Electronic
Workbook”. To shut window click on the upper right corner of
it.
|
21. When experiment is over, the test-tubes are
cleared, and the experiment can be repeated with other chemical reagents.
|
22. When performing an experiment you can use help.
For this purpose it is necessary to move the cursor to the question
icon on the lower left-hand part of the screen and click on it with
the left button of the mouse. To shut the window click on the upper
right corner of the help window.
|
23. Return to the menu of experiments (move the
mouse cursor to the indicated zone and click on the left button).
|
24. After performing all the experiments of laboratory
session pass the final test (move the mouse cursor to the indicated
area and click on the left button).
|
25. This is the first question of the assesment.
You should correlate a kind of medium to the corresponding colouring
of indicators. For this purpose click on a point on the left and then
click on a corresponding one, from your point of view, on the right.
|
26. The jump to the next question is implemented
clicking on the button titled "Подтвердить ответ" (“Confirm
the answer”).
|
27. Unfortunately, we gave the wrong
answer. Return to the menu of experiments moving the cursor to the
indicated zone and clicking on the left button of the mouse.
|
28. Confirm that you want to quit assesment. For
this purpose click on the button titled "Да" (“Yes”).
|

one.
|
41. You can also look at the information on atoms
in the molecule.
|
42. The “Constructor of molecules” allows

|
45. To construct more complex molecules you can
use other tools of the “Constructor of molecules”. Exit
from the “Constructor of molecules” is made through the
upper navigation.
