Abstract

Chemistry is an empirical discipline that relies on experiments to verify its theories and laws. Therefore, chemistry teachers should not only impart factual knowledge of chemical concepts and principles to students, but also demonstrate how these concepts and principles were derived through experimental methods [1]. However, conducting real experiments in high school poses significant challenges due to students’ lack of safety awareness and the constraints of funding and space for laboratory facilities. This paper suggests that virtual simulation experiments can be integrated into chemistry teaching as an alternative solution. The benefits of virtual simulation experiments include: (1) high safety; (2) high success rate; (3) effective pedagogical outcomes; (4) environmental friendliness; (5) strong feasibility; and (6) advanced technology.
