The biology classroom, lined with model skeletons, frogs preserved in alcohol, and exotic plants, invariably attracts the interest of children. Another thing is that interest does not always extend beyond these unusual objects and is rarely transferred to the object itself.

But to help teachers and lecturers today, a huge number of games and applications have been created, with which previously unimaginable experiences become available. Here are the best ones.

This great app partially solves the age-old ethical problem surrounding animal testing. Frog Dissection allows you to perform a 3D dissection of a frog, which is painfully reminiscent of a real dissection. The program contains detailed instructions for conducting the experiment, an anatomical comparison of a frog and a human, and a whole set of necessary tools that are displayed at the top of the screen: a scalpel, tweezers, a pin... In addition, the application allows you to study each dissected organ in detail. So with Frog Dissection, first-year students who are part-time members of animal protection organizations can safely dissect virtual frogs and receive their treasured credits. No animal will be harmed during this experience. Frog Dissection can be downloaded from iTunes for $3.99.

Despite the fact that today there are a huge number of anatomical atlases and encyclopedias created for both schoolchildren and medical students, the 3D Human Anatomy application, created by the Japanese company teamLabBody, is one of the best interactive anatomy today that allows you to study three-dimensional model of the human body.

Leafsnap is a unique digital tree recognizer that will certainly appeal to all botanists (in the truest sense of the word) and nature lovers. The principle of operation of the application is quite simple: to understand what plant is in front of you, just take a photo of its leaf. After this, the application launches a special algorithm for comparing the shape of the leaf with those stored in its memory (something like a mechanism for recognizing people’s faces). Along with a conclusion about the supposed “carrier” of the leaf, the application will provide a bunch of information about this plant - place of growth, flowering characteristics, etc. If the image quality makes it difficult for the program to come to a final conclusion, it will offer you possible options with a detailed description. Then it’s up to you. Overall, a very educational application that helps you learn a little more about the world around you without any extra effort. By the way, each photo received in the application ends up in a specially developed database of the flora of a particular area and helps scientists in researching new plant species and replenishing information about already known ones. The app can be downloaded for free on the App Store.

A fun app for kids that makes it easy to take exciting journeys through the human body. And not just travel, but rocket travel through 3D models of various organs and systems of our body: you can “ride” through the vessels, see how the brain receives and sends signals and where the food we eat goes. The child has the opportunity to stop anywhere and look around. The application allows you to enlarge images of the skeleton, muscles, internal organs, nerves and blood vessels and study their location and principles of operation. Do you want to know how the bones of the skull are attached to each other, which muscles work more than others in the body, or where the name of the iris comes from? My Incredible Body has answers to these questions and many more. The program contains short videos that depict the breathing process, the joint work of muscles, the functioning of the hearing aid, etc. In general, this is a great option for getting to know the body, especially since the price in the App Store is $2.69.

This is not even an application, it is a pocket tip, which presents short articles on the main topics: “Cell”, “Root”, “Algae”, “Class Insects”, “Subclass Fish”, “Class Mammals”, “Evolution of the Animal World” , “General overview of the human body, etc. Nothing new or surprising, but to repeat some basic things that have been lost in memory, it will do just fine. Strict, concise and free.

Another app for your first acquaintance with the human body. Human Body is a cross between a game and an encyclopedia. Every process of the human body is presented interactively and described in detail: the heart beats, the intestines gurgle, the lungs breathe, the eyes examine, etc. The application took 1st place in the App Store educational charts in 146 countries and was named one of the best App Store applications in 2013. Here's a quote from the product description on iTunes:

Human Body is designed for children to help them learn what we are made of and how we work.

In the application, you can choose one of four avatars, an example of which will demonstrate the work of our body. There are no special rules or levels here - the basis of everything is the curiosity of a child, who can ask the application any questions about our body. How do we breathe? How do we see? And so on. The app features animations and interactive representations of our body's six systems: skeletal, muscular, nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory and digestive. Included with the app you download a free PDF book on human anatomy with detailed articles and discussion questions. The app is available on iTunes for $2.99.

This is another app from the Brooklyn studio of educational app developers Tinybop, but this time for studying botany. Did you want to know the secrets of the green kingdom? Plants will help both children and those who simply want to learn more about the ecosystems of our planet. The application is an interactive diorama in which the player is a king and god, able to control the weather, start forest fires and observe animals in their natural environment. In the process of such creativity, the user is given the opportunity to get acquainted with various plants and animals in a virtual sandbox that replicates their natural habitat. The application contains ecosystems of forest and desert areas, tundra and grasslands. Soon the developers promise to introduce the ecosystems of taiga, tropical savannah and mangrove forests. However, it's not a matter of quantity here. Getting to know the life cycle of at least one biome is already an achievement, but such experience will help you understand much better how our planet lives and how interconnected everything is in nature. The application is available in the App Store, its price is $2.99.

Biology is the science that studies living organisms. It reveals the laws of life and its development as a special natural phenomenon.

Among other sciences, biology is a fundamental discipline and belongs to the leading branches of natural science.

The term “biology” consists of two Greek words: “bios” - life, “logos” - teaching, science, concept.

It was first used to refer to the science of life in the early 19th century. This was done independently by J.-B. Lamarck and G. Treviranus, F. Burdach. At this time, biology was separated from the natural sciences.

Biology studies life in all its manifestations. The subject of biology is the structure, physiology, behavior, individual and historical development of organisms, their relationship with each other and the environment. Therefore, biology is a system, or complex, of sciences that are largely interconnected. Various biological sciences arose throughout the history of the development of science as a result of the isolation of various areas of study of living nature.

The major branches of biology include zoology, botany, microbiology, virology, etc. as sciences that study groups of living organisms that differ in key aspects of the structure and life activity. On the other hand, the study of the general patterns of living organisms led to the emergence of such sciences as genetics, cytology, molecular biology, embryology, etc. The study of the structure, functionality, behavior of living beings, their relationships and historical development gave rise to morphology, physiology, ethology, ecology, evolutionary teaching.

General biology studies the most universal properties, patterns of development and existence of living organisms and ecosystems.

Thus, biology is a system of sciences.

Rapid development in biology was observed in the second half of the 20th century. This was primarily due to discoveries in the field of molecular biology.

Despite its rich history, discoveries continue to be made in the biological sciences, discussions are ongoing, and many concepts are being revised.

In biology, special attention is paid to the cell (since it is the basic structural and functional unit of living organisms), evolution (since life on Earth has undergone development), heredity and variability (underlying the continuity and adaptability of life).

There are a number of successive levels of life organization: molecular genetic, cellular, organismal, population-species, ecosystem. On each of them, life manifests itself in its own way, which is studied by the corresponding biological sciences.

The importance of biology for humans

For humans, biological knowledge primarily has the following meaning:

• Providing food for humanity.
• Ecological meaning - control of the environment so that it is suitable for normal life.
• Medical significance - increasing the duration and quality of life, fighting infections and hereditary diseases, developing drugs.
• Aesthetic, psychological significance.

Man can be considered as one of the results of the development of life on Earth. People's lives are still strongly dependent on general biological mechanisms of life. In addition, man influences nature and experiences its impact himself.

Human activities (development of industry and agriculture), population growth have caused environmental problems on the planet. The environment is polluted and natural communities are destroyed.

To solve environmental problems, it is necessary to understand biological laws.

In addition, many branches of biology are important for human health (medical significance). People's health depends on heredity, living environment and lifestyle. From this point of view, the most important sections of biology are heredity and variability, individual development, ecology, and the doctrine of the biosphere and noosphere.

Biology solves the problem of providing people with food and medicine. Biological knowledge underlies the development of agriculture.

Thus, a high level of development of biology is a necessary condition for the well-being of humanity.
