What is the difference between a virtual lab and a physical lab?

The main difference between them is that a virtual lab is a digital simulation of a physical laboratory, while a physical lab is a real-world, hands-on environment. Virtual labs offer several features such as cost-effective and accessible learning, allowing students to conduct their experiments anytime and anywhere, while physical labs provide concrete, and tactile experiences.

How do virtual labs enhance student engagement?

Virtual labs enhance student engagement by providing an immersive, interactive, and accessible learning experience. They allow students to interact with chemicals and tools ,engage in hands-on experimentation, explore complex concepts, learn from their mistakes, and develop critical thinking skills in a safe environment.
