Life Science
Virtual Labs

Choose an experiment and use the controls to test an idea. These labs have working models, recorded data, graphs, and a report you can download after explaining your results.

A translucent membrane model in water
Osmosis · Cell transport

Cell Water Balance

Change the solution around a model cell. Watch water-volume changes and compare inside and outside concentrations.

Photosynthesis Inputs

Change light and carbon dioxide independently. Compare simulated oxygen output and identify a limiting input.

Think like a scientist

Learning target

I can change a variable, collect model data, and use evidence to explain a life science pattern.

I know I am successful when…

I make a prediction, compare a fair set of trials, record evidence, and connect my claim to the scientific idea.

  1. Predict: What do you expect, and why?
  2. Test: Change one condition at a time when making a controlled comparison.
  3. Record: Use the automatic table and graph to compare results.
  4. Explain: Write a claim, cite specific evidence, and explain your reasoning.
  5. Turn in your work: Download the lab report and follow your teacher’s submission directions.

Each lab is a simplified scientific model with its assumptions explained on the page. The numbers represent model results, not measurements from a real organism. Your work stays in the current tab until you download it.
