In the Electrical Circuit Lab students can create their own electrical circuits and do measurements on it. In the circuits the students can use resistors, light bulbs, switches, capacitors and coils. The circuits can be powered by a AC/DC power supply or batteries.
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Please note that the Go-Lab Authoring Platform Graasp is no longer maintained.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
If you are looking for online labs selected for the curricula of Benin, Kenya or Nigeria, please visit our Collections page.
If you select labs in English, the descriptions on this website will still be displayed in English. However, when you include the lab in an ILS and change the language setting of the ILS to English, the lab will be displayed in English within the ILS.

See how the equation form of Ohm's law relates to a simple circuit. Adjust the voltage and resistance, and see the current change according to Ohm's law. The sizes of the symbols in the equation change to match the circuit diagram.
Sample Learning Goals
Study of associations resistors in series, parallel and mixed in AC networks. Incandescent bulbs replace the resistors in mixed circuit, and the light intensity emitted by each lamp gives a visual feedback of the dissipated power
This lab lets you visualize the electrostatic force that two charges exert on each other. Students can observe how changing the sign and magnitude of the charges and the distance between them affects the electrostatic force.
Sample learning goals:
Light a light bulb by waving a magnet. This demonstration of Faraday's Law shows you how to reduce your power bill at the expense of your grocery bill.
Do you like Circuit Construction Kit: DC, but want to use only in-line ammeters? This is the sim for you! Experiment with an electronics kit. Build circuits with batteries, resistors, ideal and non-Ohmic light bulbs, fuses, and switches.
In the DC AC Lab students experiment with electrical circuits and practice using multi-meter. Various components are available for students, like light bulbs, resistors, switches, relays, and batteries. A nice-looking oscilloscope is available too to draw current, and voltage.
In this lab, you can explore motional emf. The red rod can slide without friction on the blue rails. A constant force (in red) is applied on the rod to the right. We might think that that would result in motion with constant acceleration to the right, but that's not what we see.
This lab shows power boxes for a series RC circuit.
The concept of power boxes was introduced in a September 2018 article in The Physics Teacher, by Daryl McPadden, Jason Dowd, and Eric Brewe, titled "Power Boxes: New Representation for Analyzing DC Circuits".
In this lab, you can explore the concept of the Doppler shift for electromagnetic waves. At the top is a simplified version of the emission spectrum from the Sun.
