Question 1

What is a virtual science lab?

Accepted Answer

A virtual science lab lets students perform real experiments on a computer or tablet instead of with physical equipment. In MindGrid, students actually operate the apparatus - pour, measure, drag and observe - across 231 CBSE-aligned physics, chemistry, biology and maths practicals, and each one is auto-graded.

Question 2

Is MindGrid aligned to the CBSE and NCERT syllabus?

Accepted Answer

Yes. MindGrid Virtual Labs covers the CBSE practical syllabus for Classes 8 to 12, mapped to the NCERT lab manuals, across Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics.

Question 3

Do students need to install anything or buy equipment?

Accepted Answer

No. MindGrid runs in any modern web browser on the computers and tablets a school already has - there is nothing to install and no consumables, glassware or chemicals to buy.

Question 4

Can teachers track student progress and grades?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every experiment is auto-graded the moment a student finishes, and teachers get a real-time gradebook with class averages and the exact steps students get wrong.

Question 5

How much does MindGrid Virtual Labs cost?

Schools start with a free pilot for a full term. After that, schools are licensed annually by enrolment; individual and district plans are also available. Contact us for a quote for your school.
