Abstract

By investigating the nature of life and discovering the laws of nature, biology attracts students; But it is the teacher's teaching method that can increase or decrease the motivation to learn. The better the learner can communicate between his topics and experiences, the better he understands the lesson; But the important point is that many theoretical topics are not tangible and do not create a correct mental image in the student. One of the effective teaching methods in biology is the use of technology to display visual effects and show the reality. Due to the day-by-day advancement of technology, it is necessary to use the new methods available in the digital age in order to provide more effective learning. The purpose of this study is to introduce effective software in teaching biology and to review the most useful of them. To search for articles, Google Scholar was used and studies that were not in line with the purpose of this study were excluded from the research process. and also, best software was chosen through installation and experience. Programs in the field of biochemical processes, cell division and metabolism, and anatomy were selected and introduced. by using them, learners can better create a correct and coherent image of biological topics and find a higher motivation for learning.
