In this practice activity, you will learn the essential skills of dimensional analysis and unit conversions while building your confidence and strengthening the foundations for future equation work. Using conversion factors, you will conduct dimensional analysis to ensure consistency and accuracy in equations, allowing for precise transformations between measurement systems. By the end of this simulation, you'll confidently connect the mathematical to the scientific, solving problems you find in the lab and the world around you.
The simulation begins with Level 1, where you’ll explore the fundamentals of dimensional analysis. Here, you will practice applying single conversion factors to convert between units step by step. Whether it’s converting a plant’s height from inches to centimeters or translating laboratory data into different scales, this level lays the groundwork for mastering simple, accurate unit conversions.
In Level 2, you’ll take on more advanced challenges involving multiple conversion factors. This stage builds your confidence as you navigate complex conversions, applying dimensional analysis to multi-step problems. By the end of this level, you will have built strong foundations for tackling future science-based math, like stoichiometry or dosage calculations.
Finally, in Level 3, you’ll apply dimensional analysis to complex, real-world problems. This stage focuses on honing your problem-solving abilities and ensuring you can recognize how conversions are regularly used throughout many different industries. Completing this level demonstrates your mastery of dimensional analysis and equips you with critical thinking skills essential for scientific and technical fields.
This interactive Labster practice activity provides a motivating environment where you can practice dimensional analysis and unit conversions at your own pace, receiving immediate feedback along the way. Give it a try to sharpen your skills, boost your confidence, and succeed in handling conversions!

Labster can be integrated within a school's LMS (Learning Management System), and students can access it like any other assignment in their LMS. If your Institution does not choose an LMS integration, students will log in to Labster's Course Manager once they have an account created. Your institution will decide the access method during the sales process.
Labster is only available for purchase by faculty and administration at academic institutions. To procure Labster, simply reach out to us on our website. Schedule a demo, book a meeting to discuss pricing, start a free trial, or simply fill out our contact form.
Labster simulations are created by real scientists and designed with unparalleled interactivity. Unlike point and click competitors, Labster simulations immerse students and encourage mastery through active learning.
Labster supports a wide range of courses at the high school and university level across fields in biology, chemistry and physics. Some simulations mimic lab procedures with high fidelity to train foundational skills, while others are meant to bring theory to life through interactive scenarios.
