| LAB-PHYSICS FEATURES AND BENEFITS |
LAB-Physics is a powerful online inquiry-based learning environment designed to
advance student conceptual learning in physics. The courseware includes concept-based
curriculum modules grounded in the latest physics education research results.
In the LAB*Physics virtual laboratories, students develop and test their own conceptual
models against "real world" virtual models that behave according to the laws of physics.
The virtual laboratory workspace contains a wide range of laboratory equipment and instruments
such as timers, photogates, motion detectors, and force probes, the latter of which connect to
real-time data logger software that produces working graphs.
