Visible Body helps students understand tough topics in A&P and biology! Our models and simulations help students build spatial reasoning skills and break down complex processes.

  • Augmented reality (AR) lab activities from Visible Body encourage students to take an active role in exploring spatial relationships between structures
  • Visible Body’s interactive beating heart allows students to adjust heart rate and see how heart anatomy and circulatory physiology work together to move blood through the body
  • Students can manipulate 3D simulations of biological processes like mitosis, meiosis, photosynthesis, cellular respiration, and DNA coiling/supercoiling

Visible Body’s models provide an affordable, easy-to-use virtual alternative to lab specimens. We offer fully dissectible complete male and female human anatomy models, as well as an earthworm, sea star, frog, and pig.

Our complete virtual lab activities make it easy to give students hands-on structure identification experience in the classroom, the lab, or at home. The best part is that Visible Body offers 3D models and simulations that are compatible with the devices that students and schools already have, including phones, tablets, laptops, Chromebooks, and large touchscreen devices.

Graded quizzes in Visible Body Courseware make it easy to track student progress

Visible Body Courseware is a life science learning platform with a visual-first approach, using immersive assignments to engage students in mastering course objectives. The software includes over 20,000 visual and interactive life science models and animations, along with curriculum made from those assets. It’s easy for instructors to select premade assignments and quizzes from the database and edit as needed. Instructors can also use their school's LMS to deliver assignments and track student progress.

Want to try Courseware in your classroom or lab? Schedule an instructor tutorial web meeting with a member of our Education Team. In 30 minutes, they’ll give you a walkthrough of our 3D content and course management tools and then they’ll set you up with a free trial!
