KBS Lab · General Chemistry Simulations · English pilot

Predict, try it, check yourself: chemistry for agriculture and soil

Welcome, IPB University students. These 10 pilot simulations cover solubility, pH, buffers, precipitation and acid rain, the chemistry behind fertilizers, irrigation water and soil acidity.

How each simulation works

  1. 1. PredictChoose what you think will happen. A wrong guess is fine.
  2. 2. ObserveMove sliders and buttons. Watch the graphs and numbers.
  3. 3. CheckAnswer short questions. Wrong answers get an explanation.
  4. 4. ReflectExplain the idea in your own words. Then you reach 100%.
