You can start using these flexible learning resources right now
We’re kicking off 2021 by launching new content that makes Labster even more useful as a teaching and learning tool. Our instructors and students now have immediate access to these new online resources:
Lab manuals for each virtual lab in our catalog
3D animated videos describing scientific concepts
3 new virtual lab simulations
Teachers can access these resources via theFaculty Resources Page. If you’re not yet a Labster customer, pleaseTalk with Usto get set up with access.
实验室手册
Lab manuals help students understand what they will be learning in the lab. Every lab manual includes a synopsis, learning objectives, lab techniques, and related theory content, often with colorful diagrams. All 160+ Labster simulations have a lab manual available.
You can share lab manuals with students as-is, or customize them to fit your needs.Each manual is available in a Google Doc format which can be easily downloaded as a .pdf or Word document that can be edited. When you’re satisfied with your lab manual, you can easily share a link to it in your syllabus or learning management system (LMS).

Animated Videos
旨在帮助学生想象scientific phenomena, our new short videos explain and demonstrate key scientific concepts from Labster’s virtual labs using 3D animation.
Each video is a stand-alone resource that you can embed in your LMS or web page just as you would any Youtube video.
Ranging from 1-5 minutes in duration, you can use these short videos to enhance your students’ learning by introducing them to a topic, reinforcing a previous lecture, or providing a high-level overview to prepare them to play a virtual lab simulation. Each animation has been extracted from a full, existing Labster simulation.
3 New Virtual Lab Simulations
We’re announcing the launch of three new Organic Chemistry and Biology simulations:
Spectrophotometry - Learn the Beer-Lambert law with absorbance experiments
Build a spectrophotometer
Operate a spectrophotometer and collect your own data
Apply the Beer-Lambert Law to your data
30-minute length
Spectrophotometers: Building and exploring the instrument
This mini simulation is part of the larger “Spectrophotometry” lab
10-minute length
Liquid-liquid Extraction: Extract caffeine from your everyday drinks
Learn how to extract caffeine as powder from its liquid form
Master the separatory funnel
Make mistakes and learn from them as you answer the question: Does a cup of tea contain more caffeine than a cup of coffee?
30-minute length
