NOVA Labs | PBS LearningMediaNOVA Labs is a new digital platform where "citizen scientists" can actively participate in the scientific process and take part in real-world investigations by visualizing, analyzing, and playing with the same data that scientists use. Each NOVA Lab is unique, and focuses on a different area of active research. But all of them illustrate key concepts with engaging and informative videos that address why these research topics matter to students and society. In this collection, you'll find original short-form videos from the Sun Lab, Energy Lab, Cloud Lab, RNA Lab, Cybersecurity Lab, and Evolution Lab. To join NOVA’s expanding online educator community focused on the successful use of media and games in the STEM classroom, read our Education Blog and subscribe to our Spark educator newsletter.
