The Impact of Virtual Laboratories on Education
Students can control, manipulate, and access these labs whenever they need to, because they are accessible 24/7. Studies have shown that 9th grade students taking chemistry are having trouble grasping certain concepts due to lack of lab practice. However, lab equipment needed to perform these experiments is really, really expensive. Virtual labs allow students to perform the experiments online, so schools don't have to buy all the lab equipment.
Here are some virtual labs!
The University of Utah's Genetic Learning Center
learn.genetics.utah.edu is a great website, that has many virtual labs you can do! These virtual labs help students understand things about genetics.
