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Please note that the Go-Lab Authoring Platform Graasp is no longer maintained.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

If you are looking for online labs selected for the curricula of Benin, Kenya or Nigeria, please visit our Collections page.

In this lab, you can explore the diffraction of waves through a single slit and double-slit interference pattern.

In this lab, you can explore the diffraction of waves by a single slit. The width of the opening is controlled by the slider. Initially, the waves are shown in black and white (grayscale), with both the peaks and troughs being white. Black indicates a zero amplitude.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In this lab, you can explore the concept of the Doppler shift for electromagnetic waves. At the top is a simplified version of the emission spectrum from the Sun.

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.

A spring wave has the same spirit as the pendulum wave. In this simulation, each ball oscillates back and forth on its own spring (the springs are not shown), experiencing simple harmonic motion.

This lab demonstrates the interference of waves from two identical sources that are separated by a variable distance. The wave crests are shown in red and the troughs in blue, with black indicating a local wave amplitude of zero.
