virtual labs
Digital science spaces
Virtual labs are digital simulations of laboratory environments, allowing students to conduct experiments online rather than in physical spaces.
They replicate scientific procedures—mixing chemicals, dissecting specimens, running physics demonstrations—through interactive software.
Virtual labs offer accessibility and safety advantages: Students completed the chemistry virtual lab from home.
They supplement rather than replace hands-on experience.
