These virtual labs/simulations allow students to complete laboratory experiments online and explore concepts and theories without stepping into a physical science lab. Several El Paso Community College dual credit academic and Career Technology Education (CTE) science courses require the use of Labster as part of the dual credit student coursework. |
|
