Biological experimentation can have all sorts of moral and ethical quandaries as its subjects are living creatures. With Labster's virtual environments not a blade of grass or bacterium will be harmed, while your students enjoy all the benefits of seeing their results sooner and in easily verified ways.

Your students will journey the universe and save lives, conserve ecosystems and travel the tree of life to see the results of their experimentation in action.

After using Labster virtual labs, student retention increased from 80% to 95%

The Labster Advantage

Labster gives students a real-life science lab experience at a fraction of the price of a physical laboratory. Students are guided through complex concepts, encouraged to carry out realistic, accident-free experiments, which can be tried as many times as necessary, and will learn to think independently. With Labster, learning is fun, exciting and accessible.

Improves student retention and outcomes

Unlimited access to instrumentation

Convenient laboratory access

Integrates with your LMS

Easy tracking of progress & feedback

Fun and engaging 3D animations

Suitable for course re-designs

Dedicated customer support

Aligns with core science curriculum

01. Use our 3D visual aids to support students as they investigate complex topics

Make their learning fun, engaging and memorable by diving into cells and genes at the molecular level and through experiments with enhanced visuals.

02. Begin a course with a refresher for students or recap at the end

If your class have different levels of knowledge and skill in the topic, set a simulation as a prerequisite to bring them to a similar starting point, or wrap up the course content before assessments.

03. Before beginning lab work, give students a chance to practise in peace

They will learn how to choose PPE, tools and equipment and how to minimise risks with hazardous materials before any real world dangers can occur. They will enter a real lab confidently prepared to start work.

04. Laboratory experience without the laboratory!

Without a lab available, learning can only go so far. Now students can access the lab freely, gain experience and enhance their knowledge.

05. Track and assess student results and attainment online with Labster.

Students and teachers can work from anywhere if they can access Labster's virtual labs.

06. Solidify learning with a virtual lab

After experiencing a real-life lab, a virtual 3D lab allows students to solidify the lessons covered, building understanding and confidence. Through internalisation of the tools and skills learned in the laboratory, Labster’s virtual lab improves the learning experience and thus, academic results.

Read the Educational Whitepaper for Virtual Laboratories in Science

We recognize that there is a growing need for change within the field of science education, and this whitepaper examines the beneficial role that virtual labs play in the teaching/learning environment, and conversely, the skepticism surrounding virtual labs as an educational tool. Through published research papers and first hand case studies, we look at both sides of the debate.

This whitepaper discusses:

The 5 challenges currently being faced by the science education sector
The skepticism about virtual labs as a teaching aid
The research demonstrating the effectiveness of virtual labs
Improving the learning/teaching experience via the virtual lab

"The majority of students perceived that the simulations improved their learning of DNA-based technologies, students were motivated to complete the simulation and felt more confident at the end.”

Dr. Bina Rai Singapore University of Technology & Design

"One way to make science more attractive is to make it real. And for me, one thing that Labster does really well is to make it real and fun. Labster brings both humor and relevance, as well as real life context to science education.”

Dr. Ana Barral National University, California

Dr. Sabine Matallana-Surget

"Simulations present concepts in a more intuitive and less abstract way by providing a dynamic representation of chemical reactions or mechanisms at a molecular level.”

Dr. Sabine Matallana-Surget Stirling University, Scotland
