"The resources on LabXchange are vetted by educators, so I know they are high-quality resources that I can confidently implement in my classes."

MS Science Teacher, The Summit School
"[LabXchange] has helped me when I have not had the resources to complete a lab in-person, like gel electrophoresis. I have also utilized the simulations to animate what is happening at the atomic level to supplement my own labs in class."
Madi Evans

"Simulations allow students to set their own learning pace and explore ideas beyond my classroom."
