Biology Lesson Planning for Teachers and Student Teachers
Free biology lesson-planning resources for teachers and student teachers. Use interactive 3D models, virtual labs and games for demonstrations, student observation and classroom review.
Explore biology topics
Choose a learning goal, select a model or experiment, then build observation questions for comparison and discussion. Start with these eight activities.
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 →Organelle Match: Biology Classroom Game
Recognize the same organelle across different drawings and group matching cards in a three-card matching game.
Open activity →Osmosis and Passive Transport: 3D Biology Simulation
Compare osmosis, red blood cells, plant cells and plasmolysis, then explore diffusion, channels and carriers in an interactive classroom simulation.
Open activity →3D Eye Anatomy and Image Formation
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 →DNA Extraction and Identification Virtual Lab
Follow eight steps of onion DNA extraction and identification, including filtration, alcohol precipitation and a diphenylamine colour test.
Open activity →ATP Structure and Energy Coupling: 3D Model
Compare ATP, ADP and AMP, follow hydrolysis and regeneration, and use a calcium pump model to explore energy coupling in active transport.
