You might want to look at the educational offerings from Wavefunction (www.wavefun.com). They also wrote experimental books as I recall.Joe Leonard--On Thu, Jun 10, 2021 at 2:04 PM Anatoli Korkin korkin.^.nanoandgiga.com <owner-chemistry^ccl.net> wrote:I need something which students and teachers with no professional chemistry background could use as demo lessons of "virtual chemistry". Like a virtual lab. The best analogy is chemistry demonstration in the class by mixing some liquids with a visual result: color change, gas or sediment, etc. In this case the visual effects would be conformation changes or formation of a molecular cluster (temperature down) or cluster evaporation (temperature up). There are plenty movies on youtube of any level of complexity but they would not provide a hands-on experience and ability to change some parameters to get feeling of doing a "chemistry experiment".Best regards,Anatoli KorkinAdjunct ProfessorSchool of Molecular SciencesArizona State UniversityPresident of Nano and Giga Solutions Inc.

If this is for noncommercial use, you could take a look at the Sophia plugin to UCSF Chimera; both are free downloads for noncommercial purposes:
https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/plugins/plugins.html#sophia
https://sophia-web.appspot.com/
https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/index.html
However, Sophia may be intended more to teach principles of MD using simple systems, than to teach chemistry per se. Also developed mainly for Mac although documentation says most features also work on Windows, and while it may be easy for you to install, not necessarily so for students.
Best,
