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Please note that the Go-Lab Authoring Platform Graasp is no longer maintained.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 lab presents the spectrum of eletormagnetic radiation in terms of wavelength and frequency.
In this lab, you can explore the phenomenon of total internal reflection (such as an in a optic fibre). The light source is the purple dot in medium 2. The light is incident on the interface between the two media at the position of the green dot, which is fixed.
In this lab, you can explore the refraction of light through a rectangular block (you can modify its refraction index). The light is emitted by the red dot, which is in air. The light strikes the side of a rectangular block.
This lab builds on lab about ray diagrams and image formation using a mirror. In that simulation, it is not clear that time has any role to play in image formation.
The light source can either be the red dot in medium 1 or the purple dot in medium 2. In either case, the light is incident on the interface between the two media at the position of the green dot, which is fixed.
In this lab, you can explore ray diagrams for different types of mirrors. Use the sliders to vary the object position, height, and focal length of the mirror. Observe the changes in the image formed as you do this.
Does the position change?
Does the height change?
This lab demonstrates how a prism works. White light shines in from the left. You may be surprised to see that it goes straight into the prism, without splitting up inside the prism. Why is this? This is something of a special case.
In this lab, you can explore refraction through 3 media. The light is emitted by the red dot, which is in the air. The light enters medium 2, and then continues on to medium 3. Before adjusting either slider, make two predictions.
This lab builds off from the lab titled, "Mirrors and time (the role of time in image formation".
