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\xa0Her article was entitled \u201cConducting Science Labs in a Virtual World.\u201d

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

Part 1 \u2014 Virtual Simulations

Part 2 \u2014 Science at Home

Part 3 \u2014 Use of Data Sets

Data sets are a great way to get students to analyze scientific data.\xa0\xa0Online science courses can contain virtual labs that can be applied to real life applications.\xa0\xa0In the online world, students have the opportunity to create their own experiments, analyze data, and participate in meaningful learning.
