Nano: Cell

What Nano: Cell is

Nano: Cell is a three-week protein-synthesis learning unit in which students operate a cell from the inside. The cell-biology activities connect protein synthesis with human health: students interview someone they know who has a health condition and make a Gene Tale video. The curriculum is designed for middle-school and high-school biology classes, with age-appropriate material for each level. Lighthaus bundles Nano: Cell with Nano: Genetics and digital teaching materials, which can include lesson plans, activities, assessments, teacher slides, guides, pacing and rubrics. The curriculum integrates with Google Classroom, Canvas and Schoology; the maker says it can provide materials in formats compatible with other learning management systems. The VR experiences work offline, and the maker says it does not collect student data. Supported standalone headsets are Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest 3, which do not require a PC or external sensors. Bundles include teacher training and ongoing support. Options include middle-school biology with simplified curriculum, high-school biology with full curriculum, and a headset-and-curriculum bundle. Pricing is available by contacting Lighthaus; no price is listed.
