Interactive Demo
Experimental Design Simulator
Experimental Design Simulator is a free, interactive learning demo from the High School Biology course on Lykke. It helps you build intuition for Experimental design, Bias, Data analysis, Hypothesis testing. Play with it directly in your browser — it features 3 sliders, 2 toggles and a live visual canvas. Adjust the sliders to manipulate the experiment. This demo lives in the “The Scientific Method and Experimental Design” section of the course.
How to use this demo
- Adjust the sliders to manipulate the experiment.
- Try disabling "Control for Sunlight" to see how confounding variables create spurious correlations.
- Drag the “Sample Size”, “Serum Dosage (IV)”, “Experimental Design” sliders to change the inputs and watch the result update live.
- Toggle the checkboxes to show or hide layers and compare cases.
- Experiment freely — there's nothing to break, and every change is reversible.
What you'll explore
- Experimental design
- Bias
- Data analysis
- Hypothesis testing
Frequently asked questions
What does the Experimental Design Simulator demo do?
An introduction to the systematic approach used by biologists to explore the natural world. Experimental Design Simulator turns that idea into something you can manipulate directly and watch respond.
What High School Biology concept does Experimental Design Simulator teach?
An introduction to the systematic approach used by biologists to explore the natural world. It focuses on Experimental design, Bias, Data analysis, Hypothesis testing from the “The Scientific Method and Experimental Design” section.
What can I control in Experimental Design Simulator?
The “Sample Size”, “Serum Dosage (IV)”, “Experimental Design” sliders change the key inputs; toggles show or hide layers so you can compare cases. Every change updates the visualization in real time, so you can see exactly how each variable affects the outcome.
How does Experimental Design Simulator fit into the High School Biology course?
The Client Challenge course is a comprehensive high school biology curriculum designed to guide students through the fundamental pillars of life sciences. The course spans from the molecular foundations of life and cell… This demo is the interactive piece for the “The Scientific Method and Experimental Design” section.

What will I understand better after using Experimental Design Simulator?
You'll build intuition for Experimental design, Bias, Data analysis, Hypothesis testing — and, crucially, see how they behave when you change the inputs, which is hard to get from a textbook or lecture on High School Biology alone.
