🌿 Biology Simulations — Concept Studio Live · Core Practicals In Development

Biology Virtual Lab

Edexcel IGCSE and A Level Biology Core Practicals — osmosis, photosynthesis, enzyme kinetics, microscopy and ecology investigations — are coming in 2027. In the meantime, explore our first Concept Studio simulation below: physiology that's hard to observe directly in a school lab, simulated instead.

Concept Studio

Not a Core Practical — a simulated study of physiology that can't be observed directly in a real school lab (it happens inside the body, over hours). Built to the same interactive standard as our Physics Core Practicals.

STUDIO🫘
Kidney Function & Dialysis
Follow filtration and reabsorption through a nephron, see how ADH links the brain to the kidney in osmoregulation, then explore renal failure and compare haemodialysis with peritoneal dialysis.

Core Practicals — Coming Soon (IGCSE & A Level Biology)
💧
Osmosis in Plant Cells
Potato cylinders in different sucrose concentrations. Plot % change in mass vs concentration. Find water potential.
IGCSE & A Level
☀️
Rate of Photosynthesis
Pondweed (Elodea). Count bubbles vs light intensity, wavelength and CO₂ concentration. Plot limiting factor graphs.
IGCSE & A Level
🧬
Enzyme Kinetics
Amylase and starch. Vary temperature, pH and substrate concentration. Plot rate vs [S] — find Vmax and Km.
A Level

Spirometer trace analysis. Measure tidal volume, vital capacity and breathing rate before and after exercise.
IGCSE & A Level
🌱
Transpiration (Potometer)
Measure water uptake vs light, humidity and wind speed. Plot transpiration rate graphs.
A Level
🦠
Microbiology & Aseptic Technique
Bacterial growth on agar plates. Measure zones of inhibition. Calculate MIC of antibiotics.
