A journey of discovery into the meaning of life and its basic functions
What distinguishes living organisms from non-living ones? What does the basic unit of life look like in different organisms? Where do organisms get the energy they need to survive? How do the organisms on our planet stay alive?
In this series of experiments, students explore fundamental concepts related to life in an engaging and interactive way. They observe different cells under a microscope and discover the properties of their individual components. Through hands-on experiments, students learn about the processes of photosynthesis, digestion, transport of substances, and respiration in a fun and engaging way.
