Constructor Practice - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

Constructor Practice Science Labs is a virtual science laboratory for schools, districts, and early university programs. Students run 160+ realistic experiments in a browser, with no physical lab equipment, no consumables, and no lab booking.

What students do

Each experiment follows the scientific method rather than a scripted animation. Students observe a phenomenon, use a built-in lab manual to frame a research question and a hypothesis, handle lab tools to take measurements, then calculate, graph, and organize their findings before writing a conclusion against a personalized answer sheet. Nothing is consumed and nothing can break, so a student can repeat a procedure as many times as it takes.

Curriculum coverage

The library spans 13+ categories: biology, chemistry, electromagnetism, mechanics, modern physics, optics and waves, molecular biology, thermodynamics, medical biochemistry, physiology, early science for younger learners, wellbeing modules, and food safety training. Content aligns to IB, AP, GCSE, and K-12 curricula, so a head of science can map the library onto an existing scheme of work.

How it runs

Labs open in a browser on school PCs, laptops, Chromebooks, and tablets, and the same experiments run natively on Meta Quest 3. There is no client to install. Teachers assign labs through any LMS, and pre-built lessons, progress tracking, and automated assessment are included.

Evidence

Used in over 40 countries. Independent Instructure researchers have validated Science Labs at ESSA Level IV, Demonstrates a Rationale, under the Every Student Succeeds Act, with a published logic model. The validation packet is available on request.

Where it sits

Science Labs is one module of Constructor Practice, one of Constructor Tech's eight apps for education and research. Institutions running Constructor Learn, Assess, Groups, or Prism can add Science Labs on shared accounts and shared data.

Deployment and compliance

Cloud or on-premise on Constructor-owned infrastructure. LTI 1.3, REST APIs, and SSO with SAML or OAuth. GDPR with a data processing agreement available, FERPA, SOPIPA, COPPA, ISO 27001, and WCAG 2.2 AA.
