Our project
Sciences: a fun way to learn
In 2009, a group of teachers and researchers from the Cell Communication Laboratory of the Oswaldo Cruz Institute (IOC/Fiocruz) conceived a project dedicated to developing and sharing educational resources for science teaching.
Thank you for visiting. We hope you enjoy our content! — The team
Open access
The content, aimed at teachers and students from high school to graduate level, is free and covers important physical, chemical and biological phenomena.
Made by researchers and educators
Teachers, physicians, biologists, pharmacists and educational designers working together on every resource.
Animated, interactive and contextualised
Our concern is to present concepts that are often hard to grasp in the classroom in a lighter, more visual way.
Our production
Educational resources
The immunology module and the Mouse Randomization app are available in English. The other areas are currently in Portuguese.
Mouse Randomization
Randomize animals into experimental groups and calculate sample sizes for Student's t-test, ANOVA and binomial tests, with theoretical notes.
Open appPharmacology
Routes of administration and drug absorption animations from the Pharmavirtua software (narration-free videos, Portuguese labels).
ExploreCell physiology
Passive transport across the lipid bilayer (simple and facilitated diffusion) and a heart-rate simulator.
ExploreMedical education
