Let’s get started right away.
Here are 5 tips and interactive biology exercises
that work on any device,
even on smartphones.
Number one: Use interactive visuals like in
the hotspot image widget.
Using the hotspot image allows you to create
very interactive images.
You can add hotspots on a background image.
Clicking these hotspots will reveal video,
sounds, text, websites, etc.
Hotspots can be marked.
And even better: they can be hidden as well.
It will be your students' quest to find them
all.
Number two: Use interactive quizzes
It’s much more fun to make an interactive
quiz
with a lot of visuals and actions,
than to just write down words on paper.
Here’s an example of a quiz about the frog.
Number three: Use an editable timeline
There is nothing more fascinating than the
lifecycle of a butterfly.
Here, your students have to complete this
timeline and send you the result.
You can also use a timeline when students
have to dissect a fish or something else.
They can upload images of every step of the
process into the timeline.
Number four: Use an interactive whiteboard.
Just add a background image, and let the students
draw on it!
Here they need to draw the direction of the
blood flows.
Pretty simple, and much more engaging!
Number 5: Use the game “spot the differences”
There are a lot of differences between plants
and animals.
Do you know the difference between an African
elephant and an Asian elephant?
Instead of having a boring list with the differences,
let your students discover it with a “Spot
The Difference” game.
Clicking will reveal whether you are right
or wrong.
If you’re right, the image will give you
some additional information.
BookWidgets has much more exercises templates
like these,
where you just add your content and make it
interactive.
It’s pretty simple.
