SimBio

Simbio is and educational software programs that can be used to enhance the way you can teach and learn biology by using interactive simulations that can be manipulated by the students to simulate real world biology experiments. By using this product students become engaged and have control over the different aspects of the experiments. This product can be used in K-12 as well as college.

I have had first-hand experience with this software and I really enjoyed using it. I used it in my Biology 101 class a few years ago. By using this software, it helped to understand the concepts a lot better by being able to see it and have control over what was happening in the experiments. I ember doing the Darwinian snails and how natural selections actually worked, along with how other things can play a role in evolution. Not only was it an interesting way to see this in progress, but it was great to be able to play around with different ideas and see what happened. This is a product I would use in future classes I may teach. 

Look at the links below and check it out for yourself. I have included a link for a demo video from YouTube, as well as the link to the simbio website.
