Abstract—The development of educational technology has opened new ways to improve their teaching, especially in subjects based on practical experiences. In this regard, virtual laboratories provide an immersive learning environment for students to interact with biological concepts through simulations and virtual experiences. This article provides information about virtual laboratories created in biology for 5th grade students of secondary schools in Uzbekistan. Biology textbook intended for 5th grade students of secondary schools of Uzbekistan aims to provide basic concepts and knowledge about general biology. There are 4 labs in it, and it is impossible to complete all of these labs at all times. One of the main reasons for this is that the necessary equipment for laboratory training is not distributed equally in all schools. Virtual laboratories created for the purpose of forming practical skills and enriching visual imagination of 5th grade students of Uzbekistan are presented in the form of web pages. These web pages were created using a code editing program called Visual Studio Code, and the section dedicated only to the 5th grade biology virtual labs contains 8 web pages. We believe that the process of implementing this virtual laboratory includes aligning it with national curriculum standards, training teachers to effectively use virtual tools, and increasing student engagement through interactive learning experiences.
