LabXchange is a free science learning platform from Harvard University designed to support educators with ready-to-use, high-quality resources—like virtual labs and learning pathways—that fit into real classroom lessons.
Planning science lessons means balancing resource discovery, lab logistics, diverse learning needs, and flexible delivery across classroom and digital settings. LabXchange was designed to reduce the lesson prep burden while supporting meaningful science learning.
LabXchange brings together free, high-quality interactive science resources that educators can use immediately or adapt to their needs. Virtual labs, curated pathways, and multimedia tools help you plan more efficiently, reinforce key concepts, and provide hands-on learning experiences that support students before, during, and beyond the lesson.
This protocol simulation allows us to address fundamental questions about photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
In this simulation, users will practice transforming bacterial cells with a recombinant plasmid using the heat shock method.
Explore mitosis in this virtual lab! Here, you will analyze scallion root tip cells to determine the effect of lectins on the rate of mitosis.
Learn about membrane transport first-hand by modeling it using eggs!
Embark on a chemical discovery journey by immersing yourself in the world of acidity, basicity, and pH.
Explore how changing the numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons affect the type of atom.
Why do atoms react with some elements but not others? This pathway explores why atoms bond...
This pathway explores how chemicals react and the ratios in which they combine—the foundation of chemistry...
Explore how the code embedded in DNA is translated into a protein.
Follow a white blood cell’s movement along the endothelium and its response to an external stimulus.
This pathway explores the different types of cells, including eukaryotic, prokaryotic and plant cells, and their structures.
In this simulation, you will model artificial selection on trichome number in Fast Plants, observing how repeated...
What I like most about LabXchange is the potential to integrate lab practice and simulations, and the flexibility of creating personal pathways.
As a young scientist, LabXchange helped me to sharpen my lab skills.
LabXchange offers opportunities for students and teachers to
have the same learning experiences, regardless of location or resources.
Whether you’re planning lessons, preparing lab activities, or supporting student engagement, LabXchange provides free, flexible, high-quality science resources designed to support teaching and learning—anytime, anywhere.
