Sampler: Intro Bio: Cell
Our Introductory Cell Bio Sampler includes demonstration versions of our popular Osmosis and Diffusion simulated labs, plus a taste of the Mitosis and Meiosis Demystified™ tutorial.
OsmoBeaker: DiffusionThis lab confronts common misconceptions about diffusion using engaging simulated molecular-level experiments. The lab first focuses students' attention on how individual molecules move under different conditions. It then sets up a fun experiment that allows them to explore whether nerve cells could use diffusion to move materials from the cell body to the synapses at the tips of their axons. ... Read more |
OsmoBeaker: OsmosisThis popular lab places students in the role of a doctor providing intravenous fluids to a patient. They must compose an intravenous fluid that does not cause the patient's red blood cells to expand or shrink. Using simulated cells, students explore osmosis with no, one, two, and many solutes. ...
