Lab4U vs PhET Simulations

Lab4U is an educational app that allows you to experiment with biology, physics and chemistry in a fun and easy way, transforming the way science is learned and taught. With Lab4U you will experiment in real time using the different sensors of your device, such as the camera, microphone, motion sensor, and others, turning your phone into a powerful scientific tool. Through our Inquiry-Based Learning, with Lab4U you will explore and analyze images of nature with Lab4Biology experiments, determine the color and concentration of chemical reactions with Lab4Chemistry experiences, and analyze the force and acceleration of a moving object with the experimentation activities offered by Lab4Physics. Find each of these contents in the Labs section of the app. Tools and experiments at Lab4U are aligned to the educational curriculum and thus carry out incredible, entertaining and deep learning experiences that will enhance the development of scientific thinking, preparing the talents that the 21st century requires. We invite you to download the new Lab4U app and experiment with us!

Engage in learning science and math with the award-winning PhET simulations! Whether understanding atoms, exploring energy, or mastering multiplication, there is a sim for every learner. Perfect for at home, in class, or on the road, this app delivers all PhET HTML5 sims (over 75 sims) in one easy-to-use package. Developed by experts at the University of Colorado Boulder, PhET sims are used by millions of students every year. The PhET iPad app delivers these exclusive features: • Offline play: learn on the bus or at the park without a WiFi connection. • Multiple languages: app translate in many languages (great for bilingual learners). • Favorites: pick your favorite sims and create your own custom collection. • Automatic updates: get the latest HTML5 sims as soon as they are released. • Easy sorting: find the right sims for you. • Fullscreen: maximize your screen real estate for optimal sim exploration. PARENTS: Engage your child in science and math discovery. TEACHERS: Your favorite HTML5 sims at your fingertips, even without internet access. ADMINISTRATORS: Optimized for school use, so your teachers will be seamlessly up to date. STUDENTS: Tell your parents there’s an exciting app for learning science and math. Note: The app does not include PhET’s Java or Flash sims. In addition, although we are currently working on improving the accessibility of our sims, most of the sims included in this app do not include keyboard navigation or screen reader access. As accessible sims become available, they will be updated within the app. Proceeds from the app support the development of more HTML5 sims.
