Inspiringly interactive
Embrace the potential of your whiteboard and engage your class in inspiringly interactive Biology lessons. This interactive graph enables students to explore how the nervous system responds to different strengths of stimuli. You can alter the strength, showing how the frequency of action potentials change, bringing the topic to life in a way a textbook never could.
- Explore and explain biological theories, models and processes using a variety of appealing animations and virtual experiments. They bring processes to life and stimulate students’ interest.
- Over 530 slides are enriched with interactive content.
A wealth of exciting ideas
Encourage overall understanding of important topics with attention-grabbing virtual experiments. This investigation into the water potential of potato cells incorporates multiple-choice questions to encourage students to think about the key points in the design of experiments. Its flexibility makes it ideal for use either before running the practical in the lab or for revision purposes.
- Support and enhance practical lessons with thought-provoking virtual experiments and animations.
- Simplify complex scientific theories and processes with interactive diagrams and step-by-step simulations designed to be unique and easy to understand.
