Biology Virtual Labs
- Agarose Gel Electrophoresis: Interactive simulation of DNA separation by size using agarose gel electrophoresis.
- Cell Cycle and Cell Division: Interactive simulation of the cell cycle and mitosis.
- Pollen Tube Growth on Stigma: Dissect the stigma from a petunia flower, soften and stain it with cotton blue, mount it, and watch pollen tubes growing under the microscope.
Frequently asked questions
What is a biology virtual lab?
It is an online simulation of a biology practical. Students prepare samples, use instruments such as a microscope or a gel tank, and record results in a virtual lab, guided step by step, without needing the physical equipment.
Can biology practicals be done online?
Yes. Labinstructor's biology labs let students carry out the full procedure of a practical, with the same steps and decisions as at the real bench. Many schools use them before or after the bench practical, and when the equipment is not available.
Which biology experiments are available?
Every biology experiment we offer is listed on this page, and new ones appear here as soon as they are released. If you need an experiment that is not listed, we can build it for your curriculum.
Do students need to install anything?
No. The labs run in a modern web browser on school computers or students' own laptops, with no download or plugin.
How can my school get access?
Labinstructor is licensed to schools and universities. Request a free demo and we will show you the labs and set up access for your classes.
