Science: It’s the study of the physical and natural world 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 science come alive. Work in virtual laboratories to investigate photosynthesis or study people’s genetic characteristics, perform tests to understand how mold grows or create suitable habitats for pandas and sea turtles.
From genetics to ecology, evolution to biological molecules, and more, the AC Life Science 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 Life Science app are organized into units and study plans. So whether you choose to investigate Human Effects on Nature within the Ecology unit or to study Food and Digestion from the unit on Structure and Function in Living Systems, you’ll have a library of highly visual activities right there on your tablet.
