This game is short and to the point, but effective in teaching basic concepts related to the cell's membrane. This game would be very good to give students to introduce or reinforce content, but probably not as a stand alone. I liked how there were questions to check the player's understanding and how you get a score at the end. Also, the player can fail at a mission, but has the chance to try again. Very simple to play and good instructions provided. Overall, this game provides a good visual of the cell membrane and provides a great way for students to see how a cell membrane functions.

This game was not very entertaining but was very informative. The organization of the game was well done. It began with background information to explain the science behind each section and the objective for the section. Then there was an activity to put your knowledge to the test. After the activity there was a quiz to reinforce what you learned. The science was accurate, the activities were just not really like a fun game. I do feel that it is a good teaching tool since it provides a quick lesson, activity, and quiz in succession.

While this simulation with a quiz is very informative, and completely accurate, it doesn't do the word "game" much justice at all. It presents the information needed to complete simulations in textbook-like windows, doesn't randomize the questions or the answers to quizzes, and overall doesn't do anything to engage players into caring about the information being taught. It also has a couple glitches: the timer will count down before starting a simulation or not function at all, and the molecules sometimes won't go through the channels (both active and passive transport channels) due to sudden changes in going the opposite direction or appearing to bounce off the "rim" of the channel, which makes the levels somewhat frustrating. While it is a very good visual representation of cell membrane function, the creator now needs to focus more on ways to entertain and keep players involved in learning, and then perhaps expand this so that it teaches about other topics, maybe the functions of other cellular components, or maybe the movement of molecules within the cell (not just between the cell and the environment).

With more interactive simulators like this, there is no doubt understanding of human basic biology will be simpler, no complicated instructions, just right to the point, and the imagery and visuals sure help a lot.
