Homeostasis

Go beyond the standard textbooks and take learning to the next level. Complete virtual experiments, consider exploratory scenarios, make predictions and conclusions—learn science in a whole new way.

Explore vacuoles in paramecia in order to learn about homeostasis. In a virtual lab, experiment with the effects of salt on the activity of a paramecium. Then study how organisms, including humans, use homeostasis to regulate their bodies.

• Make a hypothesis and then conduct an investigation of paramecia.
• Place a paramecium in solutions with different salt concentrations and study the activity of its vacuoles.
• Identify examples of homeostasis in the human body.

App features:
• Explore the topic of homeostasis in an interactive, virtual lab.
• Set up and perform your own experiments on enzymes.
• Make hypotheses and then analyze your data to draw conclusions.
• Receive hints and tips as you perform investigations.
• Test your knowledge of what you have learned and what you need to know.
