This project will enable science teachers and their A-level Chemistry/Biology and BTEC 3 Science students to remotely connect to and control laboratory equipment to conduct practical experiments in real time.Due to the current Covid-19 lockdown, teachers are limited to online classes to discuss theory only and share video of prerecorded generic experiments. The aim of this innovative project is to allow teachers and students to include practical lessons, performed in real time, as part of their continuing STEM education.Following the midterm review we will instigate early stage discussions and potential pilot project, with a network of University Chemistry departments, to provide remote laboratory access for undergraduate classes.Extension for impact:The project will focus on providing online practical laboratory lessons for undergraduate students - enabling each student to remotely connect to HPLC systems to perform a range of experiments in real time. The pilot study will involve a minimum of three universities and will be applicable to chemistry, biochemistry and life science undergraduate students.

该项目将使理科教师及其A-level化学/生物和BTEC 3理科学生能够远程连接和控制实验室设备，实时进行实际实验。由于目前的Covid-19封锁，教师仅限于在线课程，只能讨论理论，并分享预先录制的通用实验视频。这个创新项目的目的是让教师和学生将实时进行的实践课程作为他们继续STEM教育的一部分。在中期审查之后，我们将启动早期讨论和潜在的试点项目，与大学化学系网络一起，为本科生提供远程实验室访问。扩大影响：该项目将侧重于为本科生提供在线实践实验课程，使每个学生都能远程连接到HPLC系统，实时进行一系列实验。试点研究将涉及至少三所大学，并将适用于化学，生物化学和生命科学本科学生。
