Courseversity Virtual Lab

Run science experiments online, sit a short practical exam, then study full revision notes.

Experiments

Every experiment follows the same nine steps, so you always know what to do next. Experiment Learning Notes are available before and after each exam, and they highlight the topics you need to revise.

Biology experiments

Observing Onion Epidermal Cells Under a Light Microscope

  • Biology
  • Lower to upper secondary
  • About 35 minutes
  • Includes exam and notes

Prepare a stained onion slide, find and focus the cells at 4x, 10x and 40x, and explain what you see. Then test yourself and study the notes.

Chemistry experiments

Acid-Base Titration: Finding the Concentration of Hydrochloric Acid

  • Chemistry
  • Upper secondary
  • About 40 minutes
  • Includes exam and notes

Run a rough and accurate titration, read the burette, spot the end-point and calculate the concentration of an unknown acid. Then test yourself and study the notes.

Physics experiments

Investigating Ohm's Law

  • Physics
  • Lower to upper secondary
  • About 30 minutes
  • Includes exam and notes

Vary the voltage across a resistor, record current readings, plot a V-I graph and find the resistance. Compare it with a filament lamp. Then test yourself and study the notes.

How every experiment works

  1. 1. Learn. Read the key ideas and the safety rules.
  2. 2. Prepare. Predict what will happen and check the method.
  3. 3. Experiment. Run the virtual experiment with the equipment.
  4. 4. Observe. Record what you see, with the right detail.
  5. 5. Analyse. Calculate, draw conclusions and judge errors.
  6. 6. Examine. Take a short practical examination.
  7. 7. Review answers. Every answer is explained after marking.
  8. 8. Master the topic. Study the Experiment Learning Notes, with weak areas highlighted.
  9. 9. Practise again. Try different questions until you feel confident.

Why practise in a virtual lab?

A virtual lab lets you repeat a practical as many times as you like, make mistakes safely and get feedback straight away. It prepares you for real practical work and does not replace supervised laboratory sessions. The simulations are simplified models made for learning.
