Would you like to make a cardiogram? Visualize the photosynthesis process of a plant? Or make a model of an epidemic?
To help you to bring technology, and authentic practical investigations and projects, into the Biology lessons we offer a solution, in which we combine software, hardware, and teacher support. Using our solution you can easily explore topics, such as Animal physiology, Plant physiology, Microbiology, Human physiology, Ecology, and more.
Coach 7
Software is the most important part of our solution. It drives the system and defines what and how you can use technology in your classroom. Our Coach 7 is the most versatile and complete software for Biology Education. It integrates a unique combination of tools, which resemble technologies used by “real” scientists. Students can work in much the same way as professionals do: collect high-quality, real-time data, construct and use computer models, use simulations and visualizations, and compare results from experiments, models, and theory.
Data logging
With an interface and sensors, many different Biology experiments, indoor and outdoor, can be carried out. Here an example of measuring blood pressure is shown.
Spectrometer
With the CMA Spectrometer Absorption spectra of solutions can be recorded and analysed. Here an example of a absorption spectrum of chlorophyll tin spetcrum is shown.
Data Video
Videos of motions, such a motion of an animal or plant growth, can be analysed. Here an example of measuring of the growth of the root and stem of a plant after germination.
Data Image
Images of shapes, such as a cell image, can be analysed. Here an example of measuring the sizes of different parts of the cell.
Modeling
Computational models help to explore and understand different phenomena. Here an example of modelling amount of oxygen in a pond is shown.
Animations
Animations help to visualise phenomena and simulate different situations. Here an example of random walk of an insect to find a food source is shown.
Data Analysis & Processing
Many analysis and processing tools can be used to identify features and interpret data.
Spreadsheet
Can be used to work with data sets entered manually or imported from other resources. here an example of analyzing the growth of boys and girls.
Interfaces
All CMA interfaces are designed for use in Education. We offer a selection of interfaces ranging from simple, low-cost, up to powerful, advanced devices. This gives you a unique opportunity to select a device, which best suits your teaching needs. In Biology the following interfaces can be used.
WiLab
Easy and affordable
Simple but powerful with two sensor inputs and built-in RGB LED and a buzzer. The best solution for mobile devices.
CoachLab II+
Robust and also for control
Our bestseller, USB lab interface, that offers a unique combination of sensor inputs and control outputs.
VinciLab 2
Portable and graphical
Modern, advanced, with a high sampling frequency, can be used standalone, with computers and mobile devices.
sensors
We have many sensors suitable to use in a variety of Biology experiments.
And more, check all CMA sensors suitable for Biology in our webshop.
Lab equipment
We also offer additional lab equipment for easy use with our sensors.
In the Netherlands we cooperate with other partners, like 3B Scientific, Sciencethic and Flir, to offer additional products for Biology.
Teacher Support
Teaching Resources
Our ready-to-go teaching and learning materials provide base and help you to start using technology in your lessons. Our activities can be incorporated in the teaching throughout the Biology curriculum.
Teacher Trainings
To help you to use technology and modern educational methods in your teaching we offer teacher training workshops and in-service trainings in the Netherlands but also internationally.
