Online Science Labs

The other day my students used the school's laptops to complete several online labs. I would strongly encourage all science teachers (as well as other subject teachers) to look into online laboratories. Although I think there is something to be said for physically performing a lab, the computer based experiments were incredibly useful. The students seemed highly engaged and enjoyed being able to quickly change the variables and cover various labs. The company (the name escapes me at the moment) we used had every imaginable science laboratory you could think of. Students could analyze everything from quantum mechanics to stars and galaxies. Again, I strongly encourage anyone reading this to look into such a program, it will be worth your while.
