Abstract
In this study, the perception of a virtual laboratory and the understanding of the chemical concept about the kinetic theory of gases were analyzed when students learned the kinetic theory of gases through a virtual laboratory. The in-depth interview had been conducted to 19 students taking the general chemistry course. Students recognized the change of a speed and a kinetic energy after collision. Students mentioned the presence of intermolecular interaction, the volume of a molecule, the conservation of kinetic energy as a difference between virtual and real world. In addition, students could learn the new concepts because the virtual laboratory makes the abstract concept visible.
