This article analyses the impact of the role and significance of the virtual laboratory on ninth-grade lyceum students’ attainment of more-in depth scientific knowledge and improved practical skills in the physics topic area of electromagnetism. Pedagogical experiments were conducted at the Baku European Lyceum. The results show that the virtual laboratory enabled the lyceum students to improve their critical thinking and creative abilities, as well as their capacity to solve complicated physics tasks relating to electromagnetism.

We examine the use of PhET (University of Colorado Physics Education Technology) simulation labs in developing conceptual understanding of introductory thermodynamics by eighth grade students. Pedagogical experiments were conducted at the Baku European Lyceum, a gifted / magnet school in the capital of Azerbaijan. Results showed that virtual laboratories can play a crucial role in lyceum students' thinking and creative abilities and their acquisition of more in-depth knowledge and skills on thermodynamics.  We also found that simulations have many appropriate advantages in learning and teaching lyceum thermodynamics, and list seven such.
