Course Labs
🥽 Lab Skills & Safety
🧪 Labs
Lab Safety Lab
Learn fire drill procedures, identify safety equipment, and practice responding to real lab emergencies through case studies. Everything you need to know before your first experiment.
Science Equipment Identification
Learn to identify the tools of the lab — beakers, graduated cylinders, microscopes, and more. Practice with vocabulary, real cases, and a final equipment check.
Scientific Method Case Studies
Investigate the case of Clever Hans and run a virtual hand-washing experiment. Learn observation, hypothesis, variables, and how to design a fair test.
🧫 Cells & The Basics of Life
🧪 Labs
Plant & Animal Cells
Explore cell organelles through interactive diagrams, complete data tables, and challenge yourself in the Organelle Boss Battle Jeopardy game.
Cell Transport: Diffusion & Osmosis
Investigate how materials move in and out of cells through passive and active transport processes.
Photosynthesis Lab
Explore how plants convert sunlight into energy. Run simulations, analyze data, and master the photosynthesis equation.

🫀 Human Body Systems
🧪 Labs
Digestive System Lab
Explore the organs of digestion, trace the journey of food through the body, and learn how nutrients are absorbed and processed.
Circulatory System Lab
Follow blood flow through the heart, arteries, and veins. Learn about the components of blood and cardiovascular health.
Respiratory System Lab
Investigate how we breathe, gas exchange in the lungs, and the mechanics of respiration. Track breathing rates, study real cases of asthma and pneumonia, and analyze data.
Excretory System Lab: Nephron Quest
Journey with a blood drop through the kidneys. Explore filtration, reabsorption, and how nephrons keep the body in homeostasis.
Nervous & Endocrine Systems Lab
Investigate how the brain, nerves, and hormones work together to control the body. Explore reflexes, neurons, and hormone signaling through interactive activities.
