# Aims

The aims of this guide are to:

* Explore simulations, databases and at-home practicals that can support learning and the development of skills for the internal assessment.<br>
* Provide general criteria for determining how simulations or databases are best used and subject-specific considerations in chemistry, biology and physics.<br>
* Share curated resources of databases, simulations and practicals that can be done in a virtual environment.
