Anatomy and Physiology
Lab Simulations
This section features free, open-source virtual lab exercises. Most of our simulations are intended as alternatives for in-person activities that can no longer be offered due to health concerns and cost constraints.
Even though the exercises are performed on a computer, they are designed to promote critical thinking and active learning. Students execute test procedures using prompted animations and touch-controlled activities. While interpreting the test results, students also practice their analytic and decisions making skills.
Teachers can also use our simulations to flip classrooms, promote independent learning, or supplement other classroom assignments. Because our exercise narratives, images, animations, and activities are open-source, teachers can make modifications and create new lessons.
