Move under the dispenser, and press RETURN. Now input the name of the solid you want. To drop the solid from the spoon, hit RETURN again. To get liquids: --------------- Use the left arm, with the nozzle as a hand. Move over whatever you want the liquid in, and hit RETURN. Now type in the name of the liquid you want. To get gases: ------------- Use the left arm with the gas cap as a hand. Move under one of the connectors under the gas tanks. Press RETURN. It should connect with the cap. Now, move the cap over a flask, and press RETURN to connect them. Now you control the valves to get the correct gas. Open the valve of the tank, and the valve of the connector you connected to, to get that gas. You can mix and match gases by controlling the valves. ChemLab: Moving equipment (using the right arm) To get equipment, move the right arm down until it is just above the platform at the lower right of the screen. Now hit RETURN, and enter the name of the piece of equipment you want. It will pop up.. now, move the hand beside the equipment, and hit RETURN. It should latch on to it. Now move it as you would the arm (Suggestion: always place your first equipment to the far right to make room for other equipment.), and hit RETURN to drop it there. You CANNOT move equipment once you have connected or placed something in it If it didn't work, you'll probably have to clear the lab and start from scratch.
