However, in this age of dwindling budgets and supplies, finding alternatives can be challenging for teachers. One direction many teachers go is to find virtual labs their students can do in order to cover the same content that would otherwise be presented in class. These simulations are often cheaper, and with all of the developments in computer technology over the past decade, often provide students with authentic experiences. A collection of such simulations can be found at a website called Biology Simulations (https://www.biologysimulations.com/). This site says that “Biology Simulations helps students learn about biology and practice data analysis skills.” The site has simulations that fall into the major categories of Anatomy, Cell Energy, Evolution, Ecology, and Heredity. Under the Cell Energy heading, the osmosis and diffusion simulation has students investigate molecule movement across a semipermeable membrane. They...
