Biology Magnet Modules

Interactive, classroom-ready Biology Magnet Modules that help students model core biological concepts using magnetic manipulatives. Designed to support active learning, these modules allow students to build, move, and revise models as they explore structures, systems, and processes—supported by teacher guides and student handouts.

Why Biology Magnets Work

Model biological processes step-by-step instead of memorizing diagrams

  • Make invisible processes visible through movement and spatial reasoning

  • Encourage student discussion, collaboration, and explanation

  • Support whole-class modeling and individual practice

  • Reinforce concepts already taught in your biology curriculum

Biology Modules (B0–B16)

EdMagZ® Biology Magnet Modules (B0–B16) cover a wide range of core biology concepts commonly taught in middle school, high school, and introductory college courses. Modules include foundational topics such as water properties, cell structure, DNA replication, and food chains and food webs. The collection extends to more challenging concepts that are often difficult to teach and visualize, including organic chemistry, photosynthesis and cellular respiration, transcription and translation, cell signaling, and nutrient cycling. By allowing students to physically build, move, and revise models, these modules make complex and abstract processes easier to understand, discuss, and explain. Each module is designed to stand alone or be combined with others, giving teachers flexibility to match their curriculum, pacing, and instructional goals.

Teacher Sets
Whole-class instruction on a classroom whiteboard

Teacher Sets are designed for whole-class instruction using a standard classroom whiteboard. The larger pieces are easy for all students to see, even from the back of the room.

The components match the Student Sets exactly, allowing teachers to model processes, pathways, and structures on the board while students follow along at their desks. This shared visual language helps reinforce understanding and keeps lessons aligned.

Teacher Sets are ideal for direct instruction, guided practice, and whole-class demonstrations.

Recommended whiteboard size: 36 × 48 inches or larger

Student Sets
Individual and small-group modeling at desks

Student Sets are scaled for individual or small-group use at desks or tables. They are ideal for partner work, tutoring, stations, and homeschooling.

The pieces match the Teacher Sets exactly—just at a smaller size—so students can mirror classroom models while working at their desks. This alignment allows students to follow demonstrations in real time, build the same models independently, and actively demonstrate their thinking through movement and revision.

Student Set bundles of 6 modules or more receive a 10% discount. Discounted pricing appears automatically in the shop.

Recommended whiteboard size: 18 × 24 inches or larger
