Plant and Animal Cells: 3D Observation Lab
Rotate, section and isolate cell structures, then compare plant and animal cells to connect their structures with their functions.
Open activity →Teaching resources
Free biology learning resources for students, biology enthusiasts and independent learners. Explore cells, anatomy, organisms, genetics and ecology through interactive models and virtual experiments.
Start with a question that interests you. Rotate a model, compare structures or change an experimental condition, then explain what you observed.

Open activity →An interactive 3D microscope lab for identifying parts, coarse and fine focusing, changing magnification, adjusting illumination and aperture, moving the image, and exploring image orientation.
Open activity →Explore a full cross-section with 16 types of interactive structures. Use a fixed image plane to compare normal vision, refractive and axial myopia or hyperopia, and their correction.
Open activity →Explore fish structures, mouth and operculum movements, gas exchange at the gills, fins and aquatic adaptations.
Open activity →Explore 47 years of Isle Royale wolf and moose monitoring records alongside climate, winter tick and food evidence to discuss ecosystem stability.
Open activity →Find biology models by teaching level and topic, then rotate and zoom them in an observation workspace and view their descriptions and review status.
Open activity →Build amino acids, identify the amino group, carboxyl group and R group, observe peptide bond formation through condensation, and explore levels of protein structure.
Open activity →Track homologous chromosomes step by step and compare crossing over, chromosome orientation and gamete combinations.
