Cell Lab
Explore a living cell hands-on with a free, interactive browser-based biology simulation.
Overview
Cell Lab is a free, browser-based science simulation that lets you explore the inside of a living cell hands-on. Poke around its structures, interact with the parts that keep a cell alive, and learn by doing rather than reading. Built by ScoutQuest as an interactive educational tool, it runs entirely in your browser with nothing to install.
The problem
Cell biology is hard to grasp from static textbook diagrams that students can't touch or manipulate.
How it works
A browser-rendered interactive model of a cell lets you click, drag, and explore its structures in real time, turning abstract biology into a hands-on experience.
Use cases
- Students studying cell biology for class or exam prep
- Teachers demonstrating cell structure interactively in the classroom
- Curious learners exploring how a living cell works
