All simulations were created by a teacher who works at a DSdZ school with open learning landscapes. DSdZ stands for “Digitale Schule der Zukunft” (“Digital School of the Future”), a Bavarian programme for the further development of school and teaching within a culture of digitality. One central element is the 1:1 provision of mobile devices for students, so that digitally supported learning formats can be used reliably in subject teaching.

About EduBioSim
A school-oriented simulation project for biology lessons
EduBioSim is designed as a collection of interactive biology simulations for classroom use. The materials are intended not only to describe biological processes, models, and experiments, but to make them visible, controllable, and evaluable.
The simulations emerge from this classroom practice. They are especially intended for learning environments in which learners work independently, cooperatively, and with digital devices. The focus is therefore not on as many effects as possible, but on subject-specific reduced models, understandable interfaces, tasks, and saving results in a digital notebook.
In terms of content, the materials are aligned with the Bavarian LehrplanPLUS for biology. The simulations therefore use terminology that connects as consistently as possible to the curriculum and address topics that are relevant in the corresponding grade levels of the Bavarian Gymnasium.
Why simulations?
Many biological topics are difficult to observe directly in class: processes in the eye, neural signal transmission, DNA replication, cell division, or evolutionary change are too fast, too slow, too small, or too abstract. Interactive simulations can make these processes visible as models and allow learners to change parameters, compare observations, and save results.
Use in lessons
The materials may be used for non-commercial educational purposes in school lessons. Legal information, contact options, and further details can be found on the pages linked in the footer.
