Virtual laboratory activities are flexible approaches to engage undergraduate students in scientific practices during the COVID‐19 pandemic. By utilizing online simulations, students can conduct virtual experiments on important biochemical reactions that occur during photosynthesis. The learning module described here provides students with this experience and was implemented for first‐year students in a virtual summer bridge program. It introduces new biochemistry majors and nonmajors to the discipline, and it is based on an in‐person photosynthesis laboratory module taught for the summer bridge program before the emergence of COVID‐19. This virtual laboratory module can be readily adapted for use during the academic year in introductory biochemistry courses.

探索 COVID ‐19 期间光合作用的虚拟实验室模块

虚拟实验室活动是在 COVID-19 大流行期间让本科生参与科学实践的灵活方法。通过利用在线模拟，学生可以对光合作用过程中发生的重要生化反应进行虚拟实验。此处描述的学习模块为学生提供了这种体验，并在虚拟暑期桥梁课程中为一年级学生实施。它向该学科引入了新的生物化学专业和非专业，它基于在 COVID-19 出现之前为夏季桥梁课程教授的面对面光合作用实验室模块。这个虚拟实验室模块可以很容易地适应在学年的介绍性生物化学课程中使用。
