This lab is an abridged Html5 version of the Flash-based Photolab. It has been optimized to work with tablet computers.
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Please note that the Go-Lab Authoring Platform Graasp is no longer maintained.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

There is an updated version of this lab. This simulation demonstrates the influence of temperature, light intensity, and CO2 on photosynthesis.
This lab illustrates the respiration of plants, during the day and at night.
The lab also shows how humans and animals breathe throughout the day, to illustrate the difference between them and plants.
This lab helps visualise the separation of plant pigments through paper chromatography. Students select different plant extracts and solvents, run the experiment and identify the correct pigment.
This lab is used to study the rate of respiration in germinating seeds having different substances such as wheat (carbohydrates), mustard (fats) and bean (proteins).

The microscope base contains samples of stem, root, fruit, seed, flower and leaf. The user can switch between samples, and more details about the the part of the plant chosen are shown.
Explore the role of permeable membrane in diffusion. Diffusion is the process of a substance spreading out from its origin. Molecules diffuse through random molecular motion.
Connell's 1961 classic competition experiment is modeled. You can explore the fundamental and realized niches of two species of barnacles, Chthamalus and Balanus. One species can grow at a wider range in depth but can be outcompeted, while the other species is limited to deeper rock.
This model simulates MacArthur & Wilson's 1963 Island Biogeography Equilibrium paper. You can run virtual experiments manipulating the following: island size, distance from mainland, habitat type, and species types (e.g. birds, arthropods, etc.).
