Are virtual chemistry labs effective for learning?

Study examined the effect of a virtual chemistry lab online (VCL) on student achievement among 90 students from three different ninth-grade classrooms (an experimental group and two control groups). Study data were gathered with pre and post chemical-changes unit achievement (CCUA) test, laboratory equipment test (LET), and unstructured observations. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS (version 16.0). Comparisons were made within and between groups. It was concluded that the developed virtual chemistry laboratory software is at least as effective as the real laboratory, both in terms of student achievement in the unit and student’s ability to recognize laboratory equipment.

Can virtual experiments replace physical lab work?

According to a study conducted on the role of computer- based materials for the teaching of developmental biology in order to aid teachers in assessing their value, despite digital tools having value, they should not replace all of the traditional laboratory activities. Clearly, both virtual labs and traditional labs must be included in laboratory exercises. Relying solely on one or the other is inappropriate.
