The American Education Corporation presents the A+VLabs. There are currently two packs of A+Vlabs, one for science and one for math. Each pack in the series of virtual laboratories consists of individual and interactive experiments in which students observe, record, and enter data using methods similar to live laboratories. The science modules are based on state and national standards for secondary-level science and science labs.
Key Features and Benfits

A+ VLab Packs are an exciting way for educators to engage students and apply learned concepts. The experiments and exercises are interactive, allow for exploration by students, and allow for demonstration of important principles to an entire class.
The versatility of the virtual labs allows them to be taught in
many ways:
As part of Course Content Correlation:
• Virtual labs correlate and complement A+LS grade 9–12 courses.
• They can be assigned upon completion of specific lessons for concept reinforcement.
As Whole Class Instruction:
• An instructor may present concepts and perform experiments on any classroom whiteboard. The labs provide instructor-directed reinforcement and guided application. Quizzes and worksheets at the end of each lab can be further utilized for student response feedback.
Independent Study:
• Experimentation and observation provide continued opportunities for advancement in practical applications to real-world environments.
• Laboratories are appropriate for independent study, homework, or AP® assignments.
A+ VLabs enrich select A+nywhere Learning System (A+LS) courses. Labs are accessible through launch buttons embedded in correlating lessons. The launch buttons for A+ VLabs are located on the study guide pages of the A+LS lesson.
