How to Do a Lab Remotely?

During distance learning it is easy to think that we really can't facilitate hands-on laboratories. There are many ways to support hands-on/minds-on learning remotely. One option is to find simulations that allow students to guide the work and generate data or observations that they can analyze . This is not just a simulation, but an exploration by the student that can lead to sense-making.

Phet Simulations

These are from many subjects in science and math. Look for the HTML 5 Symbol for those that will work on any browser.

Lab Techniques to Learn

These are free technique videos that students can watch and even use to try things out. Teachers can have students pick up some materials like a transfer pipet and learn to use it properly. They can even use it to make % volume to volume solutions! Teachers can make your own videos showing you doing the technique. This might be a great way to have all of these archived by the end of the distance learning time and be useful as we come back to school!
