What Our Instructors Say
“I just wanted to say I’m in love with the experiments in Beyond Labz.”
Dr. Keneshia Johnson, Alabama A&M University
“I would like to let you know that Beyond Labz worked very well for us over the 2 semesters this spring and summer and almost every student commented on how much they enjoyed it. I felt that it showed a relatively close representation of what students would have done in the lab space and the ability for them to generate their own results and make choices in a low-stress and safe setting has been great for them to connect lecture concepts with laboratory techniques.”
Dr. Haley Albright, University of Michigan
“With Beyond Labz I can assign an inquiry lab to be completed at home before they come to class and engage in a discussion about the concepts and relationships they discovered while they were ‘messing around’ in the lab. Yes, students can ‘mess around in the lab’ without messing anything up including their own face. The return on your classroom time investment increases dramatically.”
Wendy, High School Science teacher
“Beyond Labz made a very difficult situation much easier for us. I feel that the students got as close to an authentic lab experience as they could from home without the busy work of other simulation products. They were able to jump right into the experience. The cost per student was very reasonable as well. “
Dr Donna Barron, Hudson Valley Community College
"Some of the science faculty have looked at the following platforms that supply virtual labs: Labster, Beyond Labz, Praxilabs, ChemCollective, and Jove. The Chemistry faculty in particular preferred Beyond Labz because of the adaptability of the virtual lab simulations to our current curriculum. It also appears to be more interactive and to provide a better learning experience for our students."
Dr Donald Estes, Yeshiva University
“Students can really discover Chemistry and see how things react (or don’t react) and even perform some classic experiments that currently we only talk about. I think it is so much better, for example, for students to perform Rutherford’s experiment rather than just seeing a YouTube video about it.
Carter, High School Chemistry teacher
“The customer service and attention to detail have been exceptional”
Theresa Delong, Adjunct Professor, Lone Star College
What The Labz Creator Says
Our virtual labs simulation platform is built upon actual experimental data and the most advanced models available.
Each lab supports hundreds of experiments
Labs can be used free form, or with the accompanying detailed procedure worksheets covering core curriculum topics (standards alignments: Chemistry, Biology, Physics)
Instructors can develop their own lab activities
Our philosophy is that students learn best when they have agency, when they are free to make meaningful decisions that have consequences.
