Abstract
In chemistry education laboratory activities increase students’ interest in the subject matters covered in the class and help their learning. Due to lack of laboratories at schools or insufficient instruments in laboratories, hands on experiments are rarely performed in state schools in Turkey. However, such experiments can be virtually done as a result of recent developments in Information Technology.
