Simulations are powerful tools for learning, especially in the sciences (Salame & Makki, 2021). Experiments can be used to verify classroom teaching. In a chemistry class, students may learn about how two elements will interact but this learning becomes more authentic when students can see the reaction occur in real life. Simulations allow this educational process to occur without the need for expensive laboratory equipment and can be used to replace or replicate experiment conditions.

Animation
