Welcome to Educational Web Labs, an interactive site for education in science. This site was designed to give the student an opportunity to manipulate laboratory equipment, gather data and process that data following standard mathematical and observational techniques. The labs follow procedures found in most school experiments and include the opportunity to make mistakes and observe the results. These labs can be used as stand alone labs, as pre-labs for a classroom assignment or as a setting to learn more about laboratory equipment and data gathering. Our site is also an excellent support to any credit recovery program and can be accessed during the summer months. The labs cover a wide range of subjects and can be grouped into the following categories:

• General Chemistry & ChemCom

• Advanced Chemistry

• General Biology

• AP Biology

• Earth Science

• Physics

Highlights of the interactive Web Lab system:

• Each lab has a blank lab report that can be printed by the student, complete with data table and graphing area if needed.

• The students have a comprehensive, step by step procedure that can be viewed while doing the lab. Pictures and descriptions of lab equipment are included in the directions.

• The students have a calculation tutorial that shows the proper procedure to follow to complete the lab report. Equations are given.

• The labs can be performed as many times as required and the student chooses when he/she believes his/her data and answers are correct before sending them to be filed.

• Errors in procedure have been anticipated and the student soon learns when improper actions are executed. Errors can range from simple goofs to catastrophic lab failures. Explanations are given when fatal errors occur. Spilling materials, breaking lab equipment, improper use of devices and faulty measurements are possible.

• After a successful lab many students return to see how many ways they can "mess-up" the lab by purposely committing errors, thus experiencing proper and improper procedures.

• Tutorials covering broad areas such as 'Acids & Bases', 'Gas Laws', etc. are available.

• Drill and practice programs are available to hone skills in identifying ion name/formula/charge, significant figures, metric system, making compounds/formulas, balancing equations and many others.

• Interactive graphic programs are available to improve understanding of topics such as DNA structure, adaptation, plant/animal cells,mitosis and many others.

• Games, Bingo and crosswords are also available to improve student interest.

• Teachers have access to a databank that stores all data taken during the lab along with answers to any calculated values. Each student has a unique set of parameters and outcome values. The records show day and time of access.

• Teachers may examine and print student data based on an individual, class, date or lab.

• Teachers can call for a comprehensive calculation report that uses the data taken by an individual student and shows how the answers should have been generated, including graphs. These are viewable but not printable.

• Teachers can view an overall summary of class or lab type activity.
