Educational Resources
Research data, tools, & lesson plans free to use in your classroom
In our research, the Allen Institute for Cell Science collects thousands of 3D microscopy images and movies of our fluorescently tagged human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPS cells). We analyze these images to uncover and study underlying mechanisms that drive the complex multi-scale organization and dynamics of the cells.
Many educators have incorporated data, tools, and information they found on allencell.org into how they teach biology. Below, you’ll find ready-to-use lesson plans that use allencell.org data and tools in lessons for high school and college students, as well as quick-start guides for some of our datasets and tools that are most popular with educators. |
