Learning Objectives

At the end of this simulation, you will be able to:

Arrange a sequential dilution of a bacterial culture and elucidate the purpose behind their application.
Compute the colony-forming units per milliliter (cfu/ml) based on the colony count on an agar plate, accounting for dilution and volume adjustments.
Establish an experiment and analyze the findings obtained.
Offer instances illustrating the significance of measuring and characterizing bacterial growth rates.

How do virtual labs work?

Enhance students' involvement in science by immersing them in interactive learning scenarios. Create simulations for experiments, provide hands-on training in laboratory techniques, and convey theoretical concepts through captivating visual experiences to improve their overall long-term learning outcomes.

Access over 300 web-based simulations that are compatible with laptops, Chromebooks, tablets, and iPads, eliminating the need for software installation.
Incorporate a teacher dashboard for automated grading and monitoring of student progress.
Utilize embedded quizzes to assist students in mastering scientific content.
Comprehensive repository of educational materials, including learning resources, lab reports, videos, theory pages, graphics, and more.
