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Please note that the Go-Lab Authoring Platform Graasp is no longer maintained.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 German, 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 German, the lab will be displayed in German within the ILS.

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.
There are two similar labs that you can see if you create a space, feel free to choose which one to use. Please note that while the preview shows you only one, the screenshots present both labs.
Watch a string vibrate in slow motion. Wiggle the end of the string and make waves, or adjust the frequency and amplitude of an oscillator. Adjust the damping and tension. The end can be fixed, loose, or open.Primary aims of the lab:
This simulation allows students to experiment with the height and the angle of the bars to find the centre of gravity.
In Splash students can create objects from object properties like mass, volume, and density, and drop these objects in a tube filled with a fluid.
This lab helps to visualize Pascal's Law to understand the underlying principle.
Play with one or two pendulums and discover how the period of a simple pendulum depends on the length of the string, the mass of the pendulum bob, the strength of gravity, and the amplitude of the swing. Observe the energy in the system in real-time, and vary the amount of friction.
Learn about the physics of resistance in a wire. Change its resistivity, length, and area to see how they affect the wire's resistance. The sizes of the symbols in the equation change along with the diagram of a wire. Primary aims:
Play with objects on a teeter totter to learn about balance. Test what you've learned by trying the Balance Challenge game.
The primary aims of the lab are:
1) Predict how objects of various masses can be used to make a plank balance,
