Simulators by course

Starting points for the courses these simulators are used in most.

AP Biology simulators

Units 1 to 8 of the College Board course, with the labs that go with them: diffusion and osmosis, photosynthesis, mitosis and meiosis, and more.

All 22 for AP Biology →

NGSS simulators

High-school and middle-school life science performance expectations (LS1 to LS4), with practicals for the science and engineering practices.

All 30 for NGSS →

GCSE simulators

AQA, Edexcel and OCR biology, including the required practicals: microscopy, osmosis, enzymes, photosynthesis and food tests.

All 25 for GCSE →

IGCSE simulators

Cambridge and Edexcel IGCSE biology (0610 and 4BI1): cells, transport, human organ systems, plants and inheritance.

All 27 for IGCSE →

A-level simulators

AQA, OCR and Edexcel A-level biology: water potential, the cell cycle, the nephron, limiting factors and gas exchange.

All 22 for A-level →

IB Biology simulators

IB Diploma Biology (2025 syllabus, SL and HL): cells, genetics, physiology and the practical skills of the internal assessment.

All 23 for IB Biology →

NCERT / NEET simulators

NCERT classes 9 to 12 for CBSE and NEET: cell, plant and human physiology, and the principles of inheritance.

How the library is organised

Each simulator belongs to one or more subjects, and inside each subject to one or more topics, because biology does not divide neatly: the Virtual Living Cell is cell biology, plant biology, genetics and biochemistry at once. It is listed under each, but appears once in any result list, however many filters it matches.

Every simulator is also tagged with the courses whose content it covers (AP Biology, the NGSS, GCSE, IGCSE, A-level, IB Biology and NCERT for NEET) and the level it suits, from middle school to college. Press 3D to see only the simulators with a 3D view; all of them also run as 2D diagrams on a phone.

Each subject has its own page with every simulator grouped by topic and a short guide: Human Body, Cell Biology, Genetics & DNA, Plant Biology, Microbiology, Virtual Biology Lab, Biochemistry.
