These activities are designed to go along with the Central Valley Virtual Energy Lab (VEL) app which is available free of charge on both iOS and Android.
General Chemistry
Oxidation-Reduction Reactions in a Lithium-ion Electric Car Battery
This is guided-inquiry Augmented Reality (AR) activity that covers oxidation-reduction reactions topics using a lithium-ion electric car battery. Instructors can also download and use the PowerPoint slides to go along with the oxidation-reduction activity.
Organic Chemistry
Fischer Projections
This is guided-inquiry Augmented Reality (AR) activity that covers Fischer Projections including converting Fischer projections to zigzag (hashed/wedged) conformations and vice-versa, classifying acyclic monosaccharides using the D/L system, and identifying if a pair of molecules drawn in Fischer projections are constitutional isomers, conformers, enantiomers, or diastereomers.
