What are some examples of online simulations for science labs? Printable Version Sometimes it is difficult for students with disabilities to participate in experiments and other science lab activities. Online simulations can help these students participate in science exercises with more independence than may be possible in the traditional lab setting. The following list, although not comprehensive, provides examples of available science simulations. Inclusion on the list does not imply endorsement. Learn.Genetics offers three virtual, interactive Biotechniques laboratories, where students can learn and practice basic techniques that molecular biologists use every day in DNA extraction, gel electrophoresis, and DNA microarray analysis. Created three virtual laboratory programs in which students are able to learn basic laboratory skills, like measuring out specimens or using lab equipment such as scales and beakers.
The Gizmo Pass. OnLineLabs. ChemLab There is a fee for this one, but it is well worth the price! They are truly interactive and you can design your own simulations!
