I was recently reading the November/December 2020 issue of \u201cScience Scope\u201d a publication for middle school teachers from the National Science Teaching Association.\xa0\xa0In this issue, I read \u201cThe Online Teacher\u201c column written by Denise Wright.\xa0 Her article was entitled \u201cConducting Science Labs in a Virtual World.\u201d

This is the first in a three-part series on the three strategies for conducting science labs in the virtual world. \xa0

Part 1 \u2014 Virtual Simulations

Part 2 \u2014 Science at Home

Part 3 \u2014 Use of Data Sets

Online science labs can be rich experiences that students enjoy.\xa0 Teachers can include labs in online learning by using virtual simulations that include written directions, a screencast explaining directions, and questions for discussion.
