Lab objectives and outcomes

Students will be able to identify the distinct roles of macrophages, T cells, and B cells in the immune system.
Students will be able to explain the sequential process by which immune cells recognize and respond to pathogens.
Students will be able to describe how the immune system generates memory against previously encountered pathogens, involving T and B cells.

Powered by SimGenie AI

SimGenie acts as a built-in lab assistant. A learner who gets stuck can ask for a hint by voice, and it adapts its guidance to what they are doing in the scene.

Genetic Engineering [Timed]

A simulation where learners explore the process of genetic engineering by selecting genes to modify traits in organisms, visualizing techniques like gene splicing and recombinant DNA, and understanding real-world applications and ethical considerations.

BiologyGrades 9-12

Osmosis [Timed]

A simulation where learners observe water movement across semi-permeable membranes in plant and animal cells, adjusting solute concentrations to explore hypotonic, hypertonic, and isotonic environments and understand the principles of osmosis.

Impulse Transmission Through Neurons [Timed]

A simulation where learners trace the path of an electrical impulse through a neuron, observing depolarization, synaptic transmission, and neurotransmitter release to understand how signals travel within the nervous system.
