Learning Objectives

At the end of this simulation, you will be able to:
  • Grasp the architecture and roles of antibodies, including various isotypes and antibody components.
  • Comprehend the process of forming an antibody-antigen complex.
  • Identify the four primary blood types (phenotypes) within the ABO system.
  • Elaborate on the principles of blood typing using Eldon cards.
  • Explain the concept of Rhesus incompatibility and its association with hemolytic disease.

How do virtual labs work?

Enhance students' involvement in science by immersing them in interactive learning scenarios. Create simulations for experiments, provide hands-on training in laboratory techniques, and convey theoretical concepts through captivating visual experiences to improve their overall long-term learning outcomes.

  • Access over 300 web-based simulations that are compatible with laptops, Chromebooks, tablets, and iPads, eliminating the need for software installation.
  • Incorporate a teacher dashboard for automated grading and monitoring of student progress.
  • Utilize embedded quizzes to assist students in mastering scientific content.
  • Comprehensive repository of educational materials, including learning resources, lab reports, videos, theory pages, graphics, and more.
