This LabsLand website connects schools with real laboratories that are available on the Internet. "A real laboratory can be a small arduino-powered robot in Spain, a kinematics setup in Brazil or a radioactivity testing lab in Australia." The laboratories are real, "not simulations: the laboratories...

This animation, provided by Maricopa Advanced Technology Education Center (MATEC), demonstrates a leak detection simulator. In the animation, users perform the vacuum testing ("outside-in") method of leak detection with a mass spectrometer leak detector. Users can control a helium spray probe and...
