Chemix is a very cool online editor for drawing science lab diagrams and school experiment apparatus. The app provides easy sketching for both students and teachers.

Choose from the range of lab equipment down the side of the screen. Then drag and drop to arrange them into your diagram. You can change the amount and colour of the liquid in beakers and flasks. Apparatus can be rotated keeping the water level horizontal.

You’ll find most of the lab equipment you’d need for secondary school chemistry – it includes retort stands, burettes, condensers, various tubing and more. Text labels can be easily added.

Once you’ve created your diagram, you can save it as a png or svg file to use in other applications. Perfect for inserting into a PowerPoint presentation or student worksheet.

It’s a handy tool, which makes it a very simple task to create your own clear equipment diagrams. Go take a look!
