A teaching support system, not just a content library 

LabXchange brings together free, high-quality, interactive science resources that educators can use as-is or adapt to their specific 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.

 Curated resources that you can use today

LabXchange features content from over 200 trusted sources, including PhET Interactive Simulations, The Concord Consortium, Khan Academy, Science Buddies, and many more.
Photosynthesis

This protocol simulation allows us to address fundamental questions about photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

Transforming Bacteria

In this simulation, users will practice transforming bacterial cells with a recombinant plasmid using the heat shock method.

Mitosis

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.

The Egg Lab

Learn about membrane transport first-hand by modeling it using eggs!

pH Scale: Basics

Embark on a chemical discovery journey by immersing yourself in the world of acidity, basicity, and pH.

Atom and Ion Builder
