Simulations: Biology
Living things from the inside out: open a plant and an animal cell in 3D, follow the blood through a beating heart, unzip DNA, and build food webs to see what happens when one species disappears. Each model runs on a projector or a touch screen, so the whole class predicts, watches and talks about it together.
Animal and plant cellsA free 3D cell model for class: turn, zoom and cut open an animal or plant cell, tap each organelle to learn its job, compare the two cells and play Find it.
DNA: the double helixA free 3D DNA simulation for class: turn the double helix, tap A–T and G–C pairs, build the complementary strand and watch semi-conservative replication.
Food chains and food websA free food web simulation for class: draw who eats whom in a meadow, pond or forest, see producers and consumers, then remove a species and watch the web change.
The heart and circulationA free heart simulation for class: watch the four chambers and valves through the cardiac cycle and follow the blood round the lungs and the body.Coming next
