Thinking about hybrid laboratories? This page contains some things to think about as well as some resources below.

First, some details to consider. Discussions on list serves suggest that local colleague conversations are likely the best way to address these questions since every institution's physical spaces are different.

• What is your attendance policy going to be?

• If a student has to quarantine, how will they complete their assignments without an undue burden placed on them?

• If a student is uncomfortable or is unable to be on campus this semester, what are their options for completing the laboratory component?

• What are the safety considerations in your lab going to be? (Mask, mask plus goggles, mask plus face shield?)

• How are you addressing issues of regularly sanitizing shared equipment?

• How much will students be moving around the lab to access equipment, and how will this affect physical distancing? How will students safely work with lab partners?

• If your laboratory uses disposable gloves, how will you teach students to use correct glove use?

Curated Resources

Online labs in: This site has extensive links (not all well curated) but it's worth browsing for resources in chemistry, physics, biology, anatomy, geology, astronomy, design, math.

LabXChange (Harvard): Use the search box at the top to find topics of interest (examples I found: gel, pipette, mass, titration, anatomy - tons of free resources)

PhET Interactive Simulations (UC Boulder): Simulations and teaching resources in physics, chemistry, math, earth science, and biology

Virtual Chemistry and Simulations: ACS curation of multiple simulation and virtual chemistry sites

Virtual Labs at Boston University Physics Resources organized by topic area (projectile motion, friction, rotational dynamics, etc)

HHMI Biointeractive Classroom Resources: Use the search function to filter first for college-level activities and then by topic or resource type.

SimBio labs: Free through fall 2020 for courses new to SimBio.

Classical Genetics Simulator: UW Madison Drosophila genetics simulation

Publication: clay models vs cat dissections
