Computer simulations of real experiments

The SimBio Approach to Biology Education

Students learn science by doing science. Unfortunately, inquiry-based wet labs investigating complex biological concepts are not always feasible. Using computer models of real systems, our simulated labs let students conduct sophisticated long-term experiments in a single class period. The experiments provide an engaging and efficient way to study important processes while being guided through data collection and analysis. Proven effective, our labs bring a sense of independent exploration and play to learning biology.

"EcoBeaker and EvoBeaker provide a powerful environment for hands-on, active learning in Ecology and Evolution. The depth, design, and pedagogical effectiveness of these packages is unequaled. They have greatly enriched student interest and understanding in all of my courses, from Introductory Biology to Advanced Population Biology"
