Lab4U vs Pocket_Lab

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!

PocketLab provides videos, articles, and short quizzes to teach introductory laboratory techniques. While many protocols focus on steps to take in lab, they do not teach how to interact with the lab itself or the technical performance of these steps. PocketLab goes beyond the protocol to teach learners how to engage with the lab itself and achieve high-quality technical results in labs. The quizzes in PocketLab are based on the principle of retrieval practice: that taking a short quiz will actually make a contribution to learning in addition to assessing knowledge. The following techniques are covered in this iteration of PocketLab: Lab Equipment Lab Maintenance Solutions Microscopy BCA Assay Spectrophotometry Agarose Gel Electrophoresis SDS-PAGE Nucleic Acid Purification PocketLab is completely free to all users and is owned and managed by Instant Library, a nonprofit dedicated to creating biomedical educational curriculums and delivering them through mobile applications. If you are a professor and want to use PocketLab to educate your students please contact us with the information provided in the app. If you are a student, we hope PocketLab can be a valuable addition to your educational experience.
