Explore 3D DNA structure, genetics, and color vision through interactive experiments
Looking for interactive biology simulations for kids? This page offers 4 hands-on virtual labs covering 3D DNA structure, gene expression, color vision, and neuron function. Build a 3D DNA model, explore transcription and translation, mix colors, and stimulate neurons — all in your browser, for free, with no downloads required.
🧬 Gameplay: Drag and drop the correct pieces (sugar, phosphate, and nitrogenous bases A-T-C-G) onto the highlighted spots on the double helix. Complete 6 units to build a full 3D DNA model.
📚 Targeted Skills: Understanding DNA structure, complementary base pairing (A=T, G≡C), the sugar-phosphate backbone, and hydrogen bonds.
⏱️ Suggested Duration: 15-20 minutes.
🎯 Age Range: 12-14 years.
🧬 Gameplay: Explore how genes are expressed. Control transcription factors, regulate protein production, and observe how mutations affect outcomes.
📚 Targeted Skills: Understanding transcription, translation, gene regulation, and protein synthesis.
⏱️ Suggested Duration: 20 minutes.
🎯 Age Range: 12-14 years.
🌈 Gameplay: Mix red, green, and blue light to create any color. Learn how the human eye perceives color through cones and light absorption.
📚 Targeted Skills: Understanding RGB color model, how eyes detect color, and color blindness principles.
⏱️ Suggested Duration: 15 minutes.
🎯 Age Range: 11-14 years.
🧠 Gameplay: Stimulate a neuron and observe how it fires. Learn about resting potential, action potentials, and how signals travel along neurons.
📚 Targeted Skills: Understanding neuron structure, membrane potential, action potentials, and neural communication.
⏱️ Suggested Duration: 15 minutes.
🎯 Age Range: 12-14 years.
