Help your students
get prepared and
get confident with
virtual pre-labs
Support students for success by letting them conduct trial
experiments in a low-stakes environment – before they enter the lab.
The new way to conduct pre-labs for on-campus students
Pre-labs from printed lab manuals are no longer enough to help today’s students grasp core ideas, scientific concepts, and lab techniques before setting foot on campus.
By giving students the time, space, and opportunity to apply the theory they’ve learned in a controlled environment, virtual pre-labs help them feel well prepared for their on-campus labs – ahead of time.
Ensuring that every experiment is far more impactful and deeply meaningful for every student.
How to improve student outcomes in on-campus labs with virtual pre-labs
Give your students multiple opportunities to learn theory, lab procedures, and safety protocols – and gain confidence applying them in trial experiments – before their on-campus labs.
Let them grasp the basics their way
Virtual pre-labs are highly interactive and engaging, and are 100% self-paced. Allowing students with different needs and learning styles to feel well prepared for on-campus labs ahead of time – in their own time.
Build their confidence through practice
Help students build confidence, curiosity, and excitement for their on-campus labs by applying what they’ve learned to virtual experiments – which they can repeat as many times as they need.
Spend more time learning on campus
As students grasp essential theories, concepts, and procedures upfront, they’ll come to their on-campus labs ready to build on their learning – and will have more focused, and more deeply impactful experiences.
With Science Interactive’s
virtual pre-labs, you can –
Help students grasp theory and foundational techniques
Through videos, quizzes, visuals, and more aligned with your curriculum, you can make sure students are well-versed in everything they should know before stepping inside the lab. Including safety procedures.
Help students gain confidence in a supportive, safe environment
With virtual pre-labs, students can apply what they’ve learned in a trial experiment, and go through the motions as many times as they need. Allowing them to have more productive, and meaningful, on-campus experiments.
Save precious time and resources during on-campus labs
As students will already be familiar with lab equipment, processes, and safety procedures, you can minimize the potential financial and safety risks that can come from accidental mishandling or breakage of equipment – while maximizing every minute of students’ learning.
