Greg Landry’s Homeschool Science has created a Virtual, Interactive Homeschool Laboratory for 7th-12th grade
students learning about biology, anatomy, and physiology. Students within a
subscribed family have access to the virtual lab experiments for a full year
and can work at their own pace through these virtual biology labs.
Lab 1: Measurement in Science
Lab 2: Diffusion and Osmosis
Lab 3: Blood Type
Lab 4: Protein Synthesis – mRNA Codons
Lab 5: Cell Mitosis
Lab 6: Urinalysis
Lab 7: Cellular Respiration
Lab 8: Frog Dissection
Lab 9: Bacterial Inhibition
Lab 10: Muscular Work, Power and Caloric Expenditure
Lab 11: Density Determination
To begin, students login to the virtual lab and choose the experiment they want to perform. Students watch a video of professor Greg Landry explaining the background information on the topic of that experiment as well as details on performing the experiment.
With their mouse and keyboard, students follow a step-by-step method to perform all the steps in the experiment; and they record data from the experiment in their (paper) lab notebook.
After students have watched the video lesson and performed the lab experiment, they create a lab report based upon the experiment they performed and the data they collected.
After recently completing biology, my daughter enjoyed
working through the labs each Wednesday during her infusion time because it was
like playing a computer game. She was very quick to determine the blood types
in lab three! I really thought it would be time consuming to go through fifty
slides; but it really didn’t take her long at all. When finished, she said she
already knew this information so she breezed right through it. Landry has
created a fun learning tool that guides students through the process to perform
experiments online using a computer. These realistic, interactive, virtual lab
experiments require no supplies! Everything is done online! Students simply
take notes and record data to create their lab report.
