Learning Objectives

At the end of this simulation, you will be able to:
  • Create a growth curve on a semi-logarithmic scale using provided data.
  • Identify the distinct stages of bacterial growth, which include the lag phase, exponential phase, stationary phase, and decline phase.
  • Understand the methodology for calculating the growth rate based on the information derived from a growth curve.

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.
