BioLabs attempts to recreate what a student would experience when performing investigations in the field. The labs are open-ended enough to be driven by the individual instructor, or by using the online lab manual provided. The student is given background information but is then asked to provide their own observations, create hypotheses, design an experiment, manipulate variables to collect relevant data, interpret the data, and then draw conclusions. A printable Lab Report captures their notes, responses to questions, and data. Link to BioLabsVirtual Labs:
Virtual Labs are recreations of actual scientific experiments. Students are given background information on a topic, an explanation of the researcher's observations, and an overview of how they set up their experiment. The student follows the data collection process and is then asked to answers questions regarding that data. Students have an opportunity to read the original research paper before and after doing the experiment to gauge whether his or her understanding has increased, and to make the student more comfortable working with primary sources. In addition, interviews with principal investigators allow students to meet modern researchers.Virtual Lab 1 - Catching Evolution in Action
