About Virtual Labs for Biology

Help students get excited about science and visualize complex ideas with immersive visual science simulations. Labster's virtual biology labs give students access to a multi-million dollar lab environment, with fun learning challenges they can complete from anywhere. Don't just teach your students, inspire them by showing them how Science is applied in the real world.
