Online labs provide students with the possibility to conduct scientific experiments in an online environment. Remotely-operated labs (remote labs) offer an opportunity to experiment with real equipment from remote locations. Virtual labs simulate the scientific equipment. Data sets present data from already performed lab experiments. Please use the filters on the right to find appropriate online labs for your class.
Please note that the Go-Lab Authoring Platform Graasp is no longer maintained. This means that it is not possible to create and publish new Go-Lab Inquiry Learning Spaces using the labs listed on this page. However, you can still access the labs and use them directly on the providers' websites with help of the preview links, which you will find on the dedicated lab pages. If you are interested in creating and using Inquiry Learning Spaces in your classroom, please visit the new Authoring Platform Graasp.org

This simulation shows a longitudinal wave (sound wave). You can use the sliders to alter the frequency and amplitude and observe the changes in the wave. In addition, check the boxes below to observe the displacement from equilibrium within the wave.
This is a simulation of the Doppler effect. You can set both the initial position and the velocity of the source (the small blue dot).
In this lab, you can explore what light does when it encounters a diffraction grating. Use at least one of the checkboxes to turn on a beam of light.
In this lab, you can explore waves and their interference phenomenon. You can observe both constructive and destructive interference. The first two plots show the individual waves from different directions and the third shows the sum of these two waves.
In Newton's rings, a curved watch glass sits on top of a flat piece of glass. A thin film of air is in between the two - the thin film has a thickness that is zero where the two pieces of glass touch, and gradually increases as you move away from that point.
This is a simulation of a longitudinal wave on a Slinky, shown in middle. At the top is a reference Slinky, showing what the Slinky looks like when there is no wave passing through it.
In this lab, you can observe a movie of a wave and a graph of the motion at x = 0 m. Use the sliders to change the frequency and amplitude of the wave, and the tension and mass per unit length of the string. Observe the changes in the plots.
In this simulation, you can observe the transverse wave formed in a string. You can use the sliders to adjust the frequency and amplitude of the wave, and the tension and mass per unit length of the string. Observe the change in the wave as you make adjust these.
In this lab, you can observe the formation of a longitudinal standing wave pattern by the superposition of a rightward and a leftward moving wave. The standing wave pattern and the component waves are shown as well as a transverse representation of the superposition.
