Lab Simulations and virtual resources

Your programme requires a significant amount of lab time to learn techniques and carry out experimental research.

The library provides resources that help you to get the most out of your lab time, either before or after.

Lab Simulations

Some of your modules will have lab simulations built in via Moodle Module from either Labster or Learning Science. There are other resources that you can explore for yourself:

Jove provides animations of key lab methods for many areas of biology. They also provide journal articles with accompanying video demonstrations that can support your practical’s.

LabXchange is developed by Harvard and provides free simulations, videos and quizzes to develop your understanding of key science protocols and lab techniques. Explore the library by topic and resource type.

Other Virtual Resources

The library provides other virtual resources that will support your learning:

Visible Body provides animations and 3D imaging for anatomy and physiology along with quizzes to help test your knowledge
