Biology virtual labs
Simulated experiments, instruments and processes built on real scientific rules. Each lab has an aim, steps, tasks and exam questions, and links to the topics it supports.

How the labs work
Each lab copies a real experiment, measuring instrument or natural process. The numbers come from the real scientific rules, and any simplification is stated under the lab.
