This paper discusses the design and implementation of a labware developed for teaching location privacy in Location Based Services (LBS) for undergraduate students. The objectives of developing such a labware are not only to increase students' awareness of location protection, but also to provide them with different views on this privacy problem from the perspectives of a service user, a malicious LBS, and a privacy analyst. Using this labware to teach security related classes will help students gain a comprehensive understanding of the location privacy problem in LBS. Surveys conducted among 75 students majoring in Computer Science at Prairie View A&M University showed the successful achievement of the objectives. This labware can be widely used in the classrooms and integrated into security curriculum.
