    Abstract
    Technology and computers today play a huge part of how society and education function. The learner has been shaped by digital media such as computers, internet, iPods, and Xbox.Research has shownthat learning in biological science is enhanced with the use of computer animations. This study involved 79 biology students from an urban high school participating in a three-week study. In this study a pretest, post-test and retention test was given for assessment. The study focused on the use of computer animations to increase the performance and engagement of cell transport and movement. This research shows that computer animations accompanied with traditional teaching increases the performance of high school biology students and should be recommended to aid the teaching of biological concepts.
