Online labs provide your 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. Labs can be combined with dedicated Apps to create Inquiry Learning Spaces (ILSs).
If you are looking for online labs especially suitable for the curricula of Benin, Kenya or Nigeria, please visit our Collections page.

Atomic orbitals are mathematical functions that describe the properties of electrons in atoms.Using this lab, you will learn how to build atomic orbitals according to the general principals involved and you will also be able to visualize their shapes.
Watch a string vibrate in slow motion. Wiggle the end of the string and make waves, or adjust the frequency and amplitude of an oscillator. Adjust the damping and tension. The end can be fixed, loose, or open.Primary aims of the lab:
In this lab, you can observe the radioactive decay of 400 radioactive nuclei. You can choose from three different half-lives. Note that the nuclei turn blue when they have decayed, and the smooth purple line on the graph shows the ideal case.
This lab presents the spectrum of eletormagnetic radiation in terms of wavelength and frequency.
Do you ever wonder how a greenhouse gas affects the climate, or why the ozone layer is important? Use the sim to explore how light interacts with molecules in our atmosphere.
Why does a balloon stick to your sweater? Rub a balloon on a sweater, then let go of the balloon and it flies over and sticks to the sweater. View the charges in the sweater, balloons, and the wall.
Learning goals
Explore bending of light between two media with different indices of refraction. See how changing from air to water to glass changes the bending angle. Play with prisms of different shapes and make rainbows.
In this lab, you can observe the radioactive decay of 400 radioactive nuclei. You can choose from three different half-lives. Note that the nuclei turn blue when they have decayed, and the smooth purple line on the graph shows the ideal case.
In this lab, you can observe the spectrum of light emitted by a blackbody as a function of wavelength. Adjust the temperature to see how changing the temperature changes the amount of light emitted by the blackbody, as well as the peak wavelength of the light.
