McGraw Hill Virtual Labs offers an accessible, online Lab solution that can be used to replace or supplement a face-to-face lab. It consists of experiments designed to help Introductory Physics students learn data acquisition and analysis skills.
• Mechanics labs give students the ability to analyze real motion of objects.
• Electricity & Magnetics labs allow students to explore the concepts of charge, current, potential, and fields.
• Optics labs explore ray optics, wave optics, and quantum optics.
• Sound labs explores tones, beats, and interference.
Real life experiments are not always error free. Measurements are not always perfect. These virtual labs replicate measurement uncertainties that the students may encounter in an in-person lab.
Lab costs and equipment often pose a challenge in academic settings. Virtual Labs gives instructors the flexibility to move some labs online, while keeping others in-person. Whether it’s strained equipment budgets, securing enough lab space, the time required to set-up each lab, or filling in gaps when an institution doesn’t have a lab that demonstrates a particular concept – Virtual Lab simulations can be a supplement.
Lab time is often tricky to schedule and limited on campus, but with Connect Virtual Labs, sick days, school cancellations, and snow days are not a problem.
With McGraw Hill Physics Virtual Labs, the lab is always open!
