Investigate biological processes with Labster software

PLAY VIDEO

Answer some of the oldest and newest questions about life on Earth with Labster's Biology software. Enjoy all the benefits of working with virtual animals, virtual bacteria and virtual environments on Earth, Mars and exoplanets by avoiding real life consequences, whilst also getting accurate and applicable results.

See how genetic manipulation and bacterial growth can save lives with ground-breaking medical treatments not only seen in action, but with your students playing vital roles in producing said medicines or production techniques. They will be put into scientific roles and given help in this virtual laboratory, just as in real life, so they can continue their studies with confidence in their expertise.

The Labster Advantage

Offering much more than a physical lab, Labster’s interactive simulation allows your science lesson to become exciting and immersive. Encouraging students to develop independent ideas, design and perform experiments and understand difficult concepts, this user-friendly experience will improve test and exam scores immeasurably.

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. See the concepts come to life in our 3D animations and visual aids

Students will never forget seeing inside a cell as mutations occur or how different species populations can be controlled all in immersive visual ways to make learning memorable.

02. Let students revise learning in their own time in preparation for your class

Make sure students are starting from a similar starting point by setting a simulation as a prerequisite for the course. Once they have recapped and brought their knowledge up-to-date, they will be ready to move on in confidence.

03. Avoid costly mistakes with virtual lab equipment and resources

Students will build their confidence in following the procedures and protocols in the lab as well as experiencing some of the common issues that can occur without their lab prep being adequately completed.

04. Accessible to all!

The virtual labs are far easier to access for all students, meaning everyone has the same great chance of success on your course, supplemented by a wide range of virtual labs and experiments.

05. Remote study

Many students are now having to study remotely due to the global pandemic, and Labster have been facilitating this for both students and teachers alike. Through the use of quizzes, teachers can easily track and record their students’ academic pathways, providing individual support where necessary. These assessments are included in the participation grade of the class.

06. Increase student engagement with virtual labs

Coming from a school laboratory to an online, virtual one increases student engagement, and boosts their understanding. Helping them to absorb the lesson fully, and building on their skillset, the results of using a 3D lab will be reflected in student success.

Read our Educational Whitepaper for Virtual Labs in Science

Through the use of independent research and objective case studies, we discuss the need for change in the science sector of education, and how virtual labs can assist educators with this. For balance, we also look at the reluctance from some to engage with this innovative teaching tool.

We cover:

Science education and its challenges
Can virtual labs improve the teaching and learning process
The unwillingness to use a virtual lab
Examining the research – how do virtual labs measure up?

"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
