Course Labs
🧫 Cells & The Basics of Life
Plant & Animal Cells
Explore cell organelles through interactive diagrams, complete data tables, and challenge yourself in the Organelle Boss Battle Jeopardy game.
Cell Transport: Diffusion & Osmosis
Investigate how materials move in and out of cells through passive and active transport processes.
Photosynthesis Lab
Explore how plants convert sunlight into energy. Run simulations, analyze data, and master the photosynthesis equation.
🧬 Genetics & Heredity
DNA Structure & Replication
Build a model of the DNA double helix and trace how genetic information is copied and passed on.
Mendelian Genetics & Punnett Squares
Use Punnett squares to predict traits. Explore dominant, recessive, and codominant inheritance patterns.
🌍 Ecosystems & Living Organisms
Food Webs & Energy Flow
Map energy flow through ecosystems, build food webs, and investigate what happens when a species is removed.
Biogeochemical Cycles
Follow the paths of carbon, nitrogen, and water as they cycle through Earth's ecosystems.
🫀 Human Body Systems
Digestive System Lab
Explore the organs of digestion, trace the journey of food through the body, and learn how nutrients are absorbed and processed.
Circulatory System Lab
Follow blood flow through the heart, arteries, and veins. Learn about the components of blood and cardiovascular health.
Respiratory System Lab
Investigate how we breathe, gas exchange in the lungs, and the mechanics of respiration. Track breathing rates, study real cases of asthma and pneumonia, and analyze data.
Excretory System Lab: Nephron Quest
Journey with a blood drop through the kidneys. Explore filtration, reabsorption, and how nephrons keep the body in homeostasis.
Nervous & Endocrine Systems Lab
Investigate how the brain, nerves, and hormones work together to control the body. Explore reflexes, neurons, and hormone signaling through interactive activities.
