I need something which students and teachers with no professional chemistry
background could use as demo lessons of "virtual chemistry". Like a
virtual
lab. The best analogy is chemistry demonstration in the class by mixing
some liquids with a visual result: color change, gas or sediment, etc. In
this case the visual effects would be conformation changes or formation of
a molecular cluster (temperature down) or cluster evaporation (temperature
up). There are plenty movies on youtube of any level of complexity but they
would not provide a hands-on experience and ability to change some
parameters to get feeling of doing a "chemistry experiment".
