The kids can see the equipment just fine, even the scales on the glassware. Our first lab was quite an adventure. One of the demonstrations required shaking a big flip-top jard of M&Ms. Murphy just couldn't resist a chance to make the first online lab memorable. The hinge side of the jar broke and there on live webcam half of our 3 lbs of M&Ms went flying everywhere. We had to stop the webcam and take an intermission while we cleaned up. All of us got a good laugh out of that one. We use our webcam to do group virtual chemistry labs. The kids can see the equipment just fine, even the scales on the glassware.
