Lab4Biology, the new way to experiment in Biology

Lab4U presents the new app for experimentation in Biology.

Lab4Biology introduces tools that ease the student’s research process. Students will be able to learn Experimental Biology with more than 30 pre-designed experiments aimed at developing 21st-century scientific skills through inquiry- and project-based learning.

Thanks to our pre-built tools making the most of your phone’s features, you can explore biology’s most important topics, like cell biology, physiology, microbiology, ecology, evolution and more.

Find it in the Biology lab of on Lab4U App

Tools

Lab4Biology comes with two innovative tools

Analyscope

The analyscope tool, designed by Lab4U, can explore images captured with or stored on a phone and classify elements within them that are of investigative importance. Our algorithm also counts elements within an image and can identify which group it corresponds to. Explore the microscopic and macroscopic world with our Analyscope!

Journal

The Experimental Journal is Lab4Biology's most versatile tool. It allows users to keep a systematic record of biological processes over a period of time, systematize information collected in a particular experiment, and record observations on field trips. Plus, it functions as a notebook in the moment when working on a project. The journal’s benefits know no limits!

Experiments

Explore Biology’s Most Relevant Topics

Health

Explore the Living Being Model, which focuses on the care and characteristics of physiology and human health. Investigate different systems, such as the nervous system, locomotor, cardiac, endocrine systems, among others.

The cell

Check out the Cell Model, which focuses on reproductive and structural processes critical to different types of cells.

Evolution

Learn more about the micro and macro evolutionary processes that allow speciation through natural selection. We’ve also integrated theories related to the origins of life and diversity and organism classification.

Environment

Our Ecosystem Model covers to the process of environmental care and climate change, which we hope will motivate students to better understand take care of our planet.

Microorganisms

Here we combine the cell and health topics to learn about how to prevent diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms present in the environment, like water. Also looks at characteristics of different types of microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses and fungi, as well as the immunity of the organism.

How do we design our learning experiences?

Experiments at Lab4U are created according to these principles and strategies

Inquiry-based Learning

Inquiry-based learning is one of the scholastic activities that best represents scientific work. It corresponds to a constructivist methodology and is based on the design of learning cycles where a student must answer a question through an investigation (experimental, non-experimental, documentary). The approach aims to both shed light on the original research question and encourages students to use their acquired knowledge in new contexts.

Experimenting

We anchor our process in the resolution of researchable scientific questions and hypotheses verification. We measure the real world by controlling and manipulating variables. An experimental approach is important for nurturing the research processes and encourage the development of scientific skills and competences.

Project-based Learning (PBL)

This learning approach is based on the design of innovative projects that aim to find solutions to different issues related to school science. These problems are usually of a socio-scientific nature and projects can be developed in an interdisciplinary way.

STEM

The STEM approach links school education to the development of skills and knowledge in a proposal that promotes scientific vocations and corrects gender gaps in a global economic framework. The acronym references interdisciplinary work between science, technology, engineering and math. In this way, STEM encourages the use of socio-scientific issues, PBL and inquiry-based learning.
