Enjoy Learning Physics in Labster's Virtual Lab
Visualize physics processes in action with our software
Students will engage with these concepts in interactive ways which Newton could only dream of. They will be independent learners, taking on challenges, fun quizzes and some of the biggest questions behind the fundamentals of our universe. Great for extending the learning of some students while filling knowledge gaps in others, the simulations are widely accessible and make learning difficult theoretical ideas a piece of cake.
After using Labster virtual labs,
student retention increased
from 80% to 95%

Acids
and Bases (Principles)
Watch out! You have discovered a lake on an exoplanet – but is it acidic or basic? You will surely know by the end of this one! You’ll have the chance to experiment with strong acids and bases to figure out how to reach a “neutral” pH.If this simulation seems too “basic” for you, don’t worry as you’ll have the chance to deal with acids, too. In this simulation, you will learn about pH and pOH by mixing substances to reach a certain pH and sort various liquids by acidity.
AcidsAnd Bases
Have you ever consumed an acid or a base? Yes you have! Acids and bases are found all around us: In the food we eat, the beverages we drink, many of the everyday household products at home and even inside us! In this virtual simulation, you will learn the fundamentals of acids and bases and go through some of the ways they can be characterized and used in the lab.
ActionPotential Lab
Did you know that nerve cells propagate an electric signal along their own membrane to transfer information? They are called action potentials, and in this simulation you will use a squid’s giant neuron to learn about the molecular mechanisms behind this phenomenon. You will learn to recognize the typical shape of an action potential, but also to describe the driving forces behind each of its different phases.
AdvancedAcids and Bases
The concept of strong acids may sound frightening, but did you know that some weak acids can actually be more dangerous than their stronger counterparts? In the Advanced Acids and Bases simulation, you will learn all about the characteristics of weak and strong acids and bases, which will not only help you get a better understanding of chemistry, but also let you help out the lake ranger, Victoria, in the process.

Animal
Genetics
In the Animal Genetics simulation you will learn about Mendelian inheritance and how a mutation in DNA can give rise to an altered phenotype. You will use polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and gel electrophoresis to perform genotyping in order to identify the gene that causes double muscling in cattle.
Antibodies
Even though antibodies are proteins that protect us from harmful intruders, they can sometimes cause problems. In this simulation, you will examine blood samples from a mother and her unborn child, to determine whether or not they are compatible.
Aseptic
Technique
A patient sample has arrived in the microbiology lab. Will you be able to culture it using good aseptic technique? Learn about aseptic technique and what you should pay attention to when preparing a sterile work area, sterilizing equipment and reagents, and decontaminating the work area after you finish your experiment.
Atomic
Structures (Principles)
In a real research facility, you may end up provoking a nuclear fusion if the number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom changed. In the Atomic Structure simulation, you will get the opportunity to decide what the nucleus of an atom looks like, and you will build anions, cations and various isotopes of an element from scratch. You will do this without the fear of causing a nuclear explosion!
Atomic
Structure (Principles)
Did you know that there are approximately 7 billion billion billion atoms in a grown human body? That number is higher than the estimated number of stars in the observable universe! In this simulation, you will investigate the atomic models and discover what unique properties they possess that allow us to study the universe.

Bacterial
Cell Structures
Global warming is causing the ice to melt in Antarctica, leading to the discovery of bacteria that have survived this extreme environment. In this simulation, you will learn about bacterial cell structures and how these are important for bacterial survival.

Bacterial
Growth Curves
From a single cell to billions of bacteria in just a few hours…
In this simulation, you will experiment with bacterial growth and test the impact of different factors on bacterial growth. Will you be able to plot the bacterial growth and determine the different growth phases?
