Parasitism app for iPhone and iPad

Investigate the vast world of science with engaging and interactive learning opportunities. Complete experiments, answer questions, make predictions, and take quizzes—learn science in a whole new way.

Conduct an experiment with sharks and lampreys to investigate the consequences of their parasitic relationship. Using a virtual lab with three giant aquariums, you can witness whether the two species benefit or harm each other . . . without being in harm’s way yourself!

• Test your skills at picking out which organisms are in parasitic relationships and which are not.
• Discover what happens in a parasitic relationship between a shark and a lamprey.
• Make predictions about how the shark and lamprey will interact, and then investigate your hypotheses.
• Observe what happens when you place the two different species into the same aquarium in a virtual lab.
• Draw conclusions from graphs of data that indicate changes in the two species’ body weight.

App features:
• Learn about the three types of symbiosis in an engaging environment.
• Make hypotheses and then conduct investigations.
• Use graphs to analyze the data you collect.
• Test your knowledge with interactive tasks and quizzes.
