Life Sciences Series
Interactive educational software covering Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Maths and Industrial D&T
We feel that the teacher is the best person to decide on how their students will be taught a particular subject area and we seek to provide simulations to help you get your message across to your students.
Summary
BIOLOGY
Pea Plant Genetics Lab 7 (New 2016)
Make Mendel's experiments come alive. 3 types of inheritance: Single gene, Double gene and Test Crosses all with an interactive auto-marking Lab Book.
DNA Lab
DNA Lab is a digital tool for the simulation of genetic techniques. DNA Lab makes it possible for you to easily carry out many experiments which are time consuming and expensive.
Food Webs: Australian Woodlands
Construct any food chain or web from the 30 Australian species available. Includes a FULL WEB MODELLER.
Arid Adaptation - Plants
Use your problem solving skills to construct a plant which can thrive in arid conditions. Compete against yourself and others around the world.
Food Webs: British Woodlands
Construct any food chain or web from the 30 British species available. Includes a FULL WEB MODELLER.
Evolution
Designed for senior and junior students, this engaging simulation promotes a clear understanding of the effects of genetic drift, mutation, selection and mating preferences on the evolutionary process and their roles in speciation. Many products deal with these ideas separately - this simulation combines them all.
Natural Selection - Peppered Moths
Directly involve your students in the predation of peppered moths under various environmental conditions.
Natural Selection - Frogs
Directly involve your students in the predation of different pigmented frogs. Add poison genes into the population or introduce mimics.
Natural Selection - Beetles
Control the predation rates and population sizes of three beetle colours then model the population for up to 20 generations.
Food Webs: Ponds
Construct any food chain or web from up to 45 Species. Includes a FULL WEB MODELLER and an all new Species and Environment Editor - now you can make your own species and pond environment.
