Virtual labs
Virtual labs for physics and chemistry run the experiment, then answer the question.
Niera has 32 labs that run in the browser: the physics practicals of classes 11 and 12, and the chemistry ideas students find hardest to picture. Each one ends with a question about what you saw, and Niera checks your answer. It is free while it is in beta.
It is 1 a.m. The viva is tomorrow, and the readings in your file mean nothing to you.
Run it again, and watch what the numbers do.

Physics practicals.
Seventeen of the practicals from classes 11 and 12, and the photoelectric effect across six metals.
- The value of g from a simple pendulum, and the energy a damped pendulum loses
- Reading a vernier calliper and a screw gauge
- Mass by moments on a metre scale
- Specific heat of a solid by mixtures, and of a liquid by calorimeter
- Surface tension by capillary rise
- Refractive index of a glass slab with a travelling microscope
- Minimum deviation of a prism, focal length by the u-v method, and a convex mirror with an auxiliary lens
- Ohm's law with a real voltmeter and ammeter, resistivity on a metre bridge, and a coil's resistance by a post office box
- The Zener diode's characteristic, and identifying a diode, an LED, a resistor and a capacitor
- The photoelectric effect across six metals
Chemistry you can watch.
Fourteen labs for the chemistry that is hardest to picture from a page.
- Rutherford's gold foil and Bohr's hydrogen atom
- The energy between two atoms as they approach
- Molecular shapes, molecular polarity and crystal field splitting
- Hyperconjugation in three carbocations
- The galvanic cell, reaction kinetics and Le Chatelier's principle
- Gas laws, the limiting reagent, colligative properties, and acids, bases and pH
Different samples, different readings.
Most labs offer a choice of samples, such as three wires for Ohm's law or six metals for the photoelectric effect, so the reading you take is your own and the question is about what you measured.
Questions people ask
01Which practicals are covered?
The 17 physics practicals listed above, the photoelectric effect, and 14 chemistry labs.
02Do I need to install anything?
No. Every lab runs in the browser, on a phone or a laptop.
03Does it replace the school lab?
No. It is for seeing what the readings mean before you take them, and for checking them after.
04What does it cost?
Nothing while it is in beta, and no card is asked for. Join the waitlist and your invitation arrives by email when a seat opens.
