Abstract

This paper describes the development of a virtual experiment from the video collection “Chemistry Comes Alive!” published by the Journal of Chemical Education. The original video materials were updated for enhanced accuracy and comprehensiveness. An online quiz with automated grading function was integrated, forming a complete experiment “Properties and Identification of Heavy Metal Ions”. The experiment can assist students in learning descriptive chemistry and related chemical theories, while simultaneously training their skills in observation, data collection, logical reasoning, and qualitative analysis. The experiment has been used in first-year chemistry curricula across multiple universities in China as well as in several national science outreach events. In particular, a problem derived from the experiment served as the first virtual practical problem in the history of the International Chemistry Olympiad (IChO 2022).

从一年级化学实验室到国际化学奥林匹克：“化学活起来！”JCE出版

这篇论文描述了一个虚拟实验的开发，该实验来自《化学教育杂志》上发表的视频集“化学变得鲜活！”为了提高准确性和全面性，对原始视频材料进行了更新。集成了具有自动评分功能的在线测验，形成了完整的“重金属离子的性质与鉴定”实验。实验可以帮助学生学习描述化学和相关的化学理论，同时训练他们的观察、数据收集、逻辑推理和定性分析的技能。该实验已在中国多所大学的一年级化学课程中使用，并在几个国家科学推广活动中使用。特别是，从实验中得出的一个问题成为国际化学奥林匹克竞赛（IChO2022）历史上第一个虚拟实际问题。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Chemical Education is the official journal of the Division of Chemical Education of the American Chemical Society, co-published with the American Chemical Society Publications Division. Launched in 1924, the Journal of Chemical Education is the world’s premier chemical education journal. The Journal publishes peer-reviewed articles and related information as a resource to those in the field of chemical education and to those institutions that serve them. JCE typically addresses chemical content, activities, laboratory experiments, instructional methods, and pedagogies. The Journal serves as a means of communication among people across the world who are interested in the teaching and learning of chemistry. This includes instructors of chemistry from middle school through graduate school, professional staff who support these teaching activities, as well as some scientists in commerce, industry, and government.
