Applied Biology Interactive Simulation | Biology | Grades 9–12

Applied Biology Interactive Simulation is an interactive simulation activity for high school Biology (grades 9–12) on Applied Biology.

Pairs with: Applied Biology Slide Show Presentation; Applied Biology Guided Notes; Applied Biology Lesson Quiz; Applied Biology Unit Test.

Sections: Interactive Simulation - Applied Biology; Instructions; Driving Question; Objective; Background; Materials; Simulation Protocol; Scenario Cards. Sample item: “How can different biotechnology approaches (genetic engineering, CRISPR, cloning, stem cells, bioremediation) be applied to solve real-world problems, and what trade-offs emerge?”

What's inside: Interactive Simulation (editable .docx + PDF, about 1,200 words, 6 pages).

Standards: HS-ETS1-1 — Analyze a major global challenge to specify qualitative and quantitative criteria and constraints for solutions that account for societal needs and wants. HS-ETS1-3 — Evaluate a solution to a complex real-world problem based on prioritized criteria and trade-offs that account for a range of constraints, including cost, safety, reliability, and aesthetics as well as possible social, cultural, and environmental impacts that may be involved.

Resource type: Interactive Simulation. Format: editable Microsoft Word file plus a ready-to-print PDF.

Classroom use: Students work through the simulation to model the chapter concepts hands-on. Built for high school Biology, grades 9–12.

Format note: These files are delivered in Microsoft Office formats (Word and/or PowerPoint). If you open a worksheet that includes tables in Apple Pages or another non-Microsoft app, table formatting may not display correctly. For best results, use Microsoft Word or PowerPoint (or upload the file to Google Docs). If you run into any formatting issues, contact us and we can send a PDF version.
