AC Biology

Biology―it’s the study of living organisms all around us―so shouldn’t learning about life on Earth be active, exploratory, and as engaging as the subject itself? Move beyond the static text and images of textbooks and let the world of biology come alive. Work in virtual laboratories to investigate bacteria or recreate experiments of famous scientists, perform tests to understand how enzymes function or create simulations of ecosystems.

From genetics to ecology, evolution to biological molecules, and more, the AC Biology app provides a collection of interactive and animated content that lets you explore a variety of scientific concepts within virtual environments. For ease of use, all of the animations and activities available within the AC Biology app are organized into units and study plans. So whether you choose to investigate Classification within the Evolution and Diversity unit or to study Vertebrates from the unit on Animals, you’ll have a library of highly visual activities right there on your tablet.
