FAQs

How does Practice work?

Our software works with real time data, real formulas and actual results. Students can save and share received data. Our experiments do not only run with simulations and animations, but also give students the experience of an actual experiment process.

Does Practice correlate with any curriculum standards?

Yes! Practice experiments correlate with all major curriculum standards like IB, Cambridge International, Edexcel, etc. Our science department is always here to meet the needs of all educators and students.

How many experiments does Practice have?

Our team developed more than hundred experiments from ten different disciplines. We have Practice Junior, Biology, Chemistry, Electric, Mechanics, Modern Physics, Thermodynamic, Medical Biochemistry, Popular Science, Optics and Waves laboratories. Every month we add new experiments. If you can not find a required one in our portfolio, connect with Practice and our team will develop it.

Does Practice integrate with Learning Management System?

Yes! Our integration works with any LMS. We try to make Practice usage as comfortable as possible. The integration saves time, reduces manual tasks, makes Single sign-on process possible and offers access to students performance datas.

Are Practice experiments available in different languages?

Yes! Practice experiments available in English, Spanish, Turkish, German, Arabic and Russian languages. We try to deliver the most comfortable experience to our users and language should not be an obstacle.

Who can use Practice?

All students starting from primary school to university can find suitable science experiments in Practice portfolio. Initially we created Practice for high school and university level students. However, recently we added Practice Junior for primary and middle school students. So, now everyone can experience science without any limit.
