Guided demonstration
Walk the class through parameters step by step while outcomes and graphs update on screen.
Design Virtual Labs
Bring practical and visual learning into a digital, teacher-controlled lab — parameters, live graphs, and embeddable scenes.
Authoring your own labs is included on Academy. Built-in labs are open to everyone; community labs are included on Standard and above.
From scene to interactive lab
Each lab combines a 3D scene with controls and the relationships behind them, so outcomes update as learners explore.
Objects and scene setup; controls and relationships; the live interactive lab learners use.
Inquiry modes you can teach with
The same lab building blocks support guided demonstration, open what-if exploration, and structured pre-lab or revision work.
Open what-if
Learners change variables and observe relationships — inquiry without a fixed question sequence.
Classroom live demo
Open the lab from the whiteboard library or embed while you facilitate discussion in the moment.
Pre-lab and revision
Set objectives and theory in the lab metadata, then use the scene before or after hands-on work.
What a lab shows
Virtual Lab surfaces exploration evidence — parameter changes, live graphs, and learning metadata — not automated grades.
Parameter change
Which controls were adjusted and how outputs responded — visible in the scene and readouts.
Live graphs
Charts update from the lab's readings as it runs — ideal for linking model and observation.
Objectives and theory
Learning objectives, prerequisites, theory, and references live in the lab for structured teaching.
Exploration evidence
Use labs to support inquiry and discussion; formal assessment stays in Quest Ladder and your own tasks.
Teaching approaches you compose
Build different classroom experiences from the same lab — settings and facilitation, not separate products.
Demonstration
Teacher-led walkthrough with parameters revealed in sequence.
Live controls · theory panel · embed or whiteboard open
Inquiry
Learners explore freely with objectives as a guide, not a fixed script.
Open parameters · graphs · objectives metadata
Pre-lab
Prepare for physical practicals by rehearsing variables and predictions digitally.
Prerequisites · theory · controlled parameter ranges
Revision
Revisit systems and relationships with interactive graphs before exams or projects.
Library access · embed · repeatable runs
Workshop stations as companion visuals
Use Workshop stations to author diagrams, charts, and teaching visuals that sit alongside your lab in a lesson.

Workshop outputs complement Virtual Lab in lessons and on the whiteboard. Schema import from stations into labs is not part of this release.
