1) Virtual labs - i-biology
http://i-biology.net/ict-in-ib-biology/modeling-simulation/
This resource is excellent for inquiry and research skills. Curriculum states one of the main goals is to “Developing a deeper understanding of the big ideas requires students to understand basic concepts, develop inquiry and problem-solving skills, and connect these concepts and skills to the world beyond the classroom”. Using virtual labs will help cover one of the overall expectations: A1. “demonstrate scientific investigation skills (related to both inquiry and research) in the four areas of skills (initiating and planning, performing and recording, analysing and interpreting, and communicating)”.
2) Cells Alive - Interactive models
http://www.cellsalive.com/
Provides animated and real-life simulations on various biology topics - interactive cell models, cell cycle, animal and plant cell structures and functions, DNA replication, mitosis, meiosis, microbes, immune response.
3) Gizmos - Explore Learning
http://www.explorelearning.com/
Provides many simulations available for Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics that allow students to explore outcomes of experiments that would be difficult or time-limited in class. Includes a 1-month free trial.
