Engage Students with

AUGMENTED REALITY (AR)

Immerse students in biology through interactive explorations Educators recognize the value of experiential learning, but these quality experiences aren’t always financially or logistically possible. What if you could allow your students to explore the anatomy of a frog or identify organisms via augmented reality (AR)? AR allows students to take part in hands-on, memorable learning experiences that help complicated biology concepts come to life. By using the camera on a wide range of mobile devices like tablets or smartphones, students can project virtual elements into the real world for interactive and engaging learning.

Edmentum Courseware’s Biology Semesters A and B include immersive AR activities for students to explore the science of Earth’s organisms. Students use a mobile device to launch virtual objects onto any flat workspace in the classroom or at home for close observation and analysis, allowing them to connect with science in new and engaging ways.

Classifying Organisms Biology Semester B includes two AR activities. In the first activity, Classifying Organisms, students observe the characteristics of insects in their AR workspace. They identify the insect order using a progressive classification key.

Does the insect have wings? One pair, or two?

How are the legs and antennae shaped?

Bring Experiential Learning to Life

Frog Dissection Courseware’s Biology Semester A includes a Frog Dissection exploration, which allows students to perform a full dissection in a guided augmented reality environment. The application guides each student to locate, remove and analyze the frog’s internal organs with virtual dissection tools.

The second AR activity in Courseware’s Biology Semester B is a yeast-growing experiment to explore aerobic and anaerobic respiration. Students create different solutions of water and sugar, then fast forward to observe how well the yeast grows in each solution over time. Students collect the data, analyze the results, and answer extension questions about what they’ve learned right on their mobile device.

Aerobic & Anaerobic Respiration

Look for the Edmentum AR Biology app in the Apple App Store® or Google Play for Android!

Students observe and analyze the internal organs of a virtual frog without ever handling or harming a real animal.
