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
