Open STEM Virtual Lab
Experiments
The Virtual Laboratory provides interactive practical science to students and teachers, accessible at any time and in any location where an internet or intranet connection is available. It offers investigations utilizing on-screen instruments and virtual scenarios based on real-world data.
Biology
Microscopy
Peer into a miniature world! investigate the microscopic structure of plant and animal cells using a wide range of magnifications and light settings.
Spirometer
Spirometry is a simple technique used to measure the dynamic function of lungs.
Human Heart
Explore an animation of a beating human heart in 3D. Examine the anatomy of the heart, follow the flow of blood through its chambers and watch the cardiac cycle.
Virtual Field Trip
Tour different environments across Ghana
Chemistry
Titrations
A for Acid - B for Base, Is it that simple? - determine the concentration of EDTA solution by reacting it with a standard calcium solution
Calorimetry - Alcohol
During a chemical reaction, bonds are broken in the reactants and new bonds are formed in the products.
Calorimetry - Food
Calorimetry allows scientists to determine the number of calories per gram in food by quantifying the amount of chemical energy it stores
Chemical Tests
In this experiment, you will carry out tests and observe the results of individually adding a reagent to different positively charged metal ions in solution.
Flame Tests
A flame test investigates the presence of metal ions by recording the colour of a flame when heating a solid metal salt.
Physics
Mechanics
The amount of force required to deform a spring depends on its stiffness – a property called the spring force constant defined by Hooke's law
Electrical Circuits
Resistors are found in all electrical circuits and are used to reduce the flow of current, to adjust signal levels and to divide voltages.
Fine Beam Tubes
Manipulation of fine beams of electrons is used to study the properties of electrons.
