Empowering Educators. Inspiring Students.

This interactive module explores how CRISPR-Cas9 technology works and the many ways in which scientists are using it in their research.

In this AP Biology/undergraduate level storyline, students explore biological concepts through the phenomenon of sickle cell disease (SCD).

This activity guides the analysis of a published scientific figure from a study that investigated physiological and genetic adaptations in the Bajau, a group of people who traditionally do freediving.

This highly customizable activity can use visuals from the Beautiful Biology website as phenomena to introduce or reinforce biological concepts.

In this activity, wildfires and how much area they burn serve as a phenomenon to guide student inquiry, which includes evaluating data and developing scientific claims.

This video follows scientists working in Gorongosa National Park as they try to determine the genes responsible for tusk development in elephants.

In this activity, students use an online simulator to explore how greenhouse gases and albedo impact Earth’s energy budget and temperature.

In this activity, students use online simulators to examine solar energy, atmospheric gases, and the mechanisms behind the greenhouse effect.

This activity explores the concepts and research presented in the short film Sickle Cell: Natural Selection in Humans, which explores the connection between sickle cell disease and malaria.

This interactive video explores metabolic adaptations to high elevation discovered in deer mice.

This Click & Learn, which includes a simulator of oxygen circulation, explores how oxygen moves from the atmosphere into the human body and eventually to the tissues.

This case study uses research on salt marshes to demonstrate the nature of science and engage students in science practices.

This interactive module explores the phases, checkpoints, and protein regulators of the cell cycle. The module also shows how mutations in genes that encode cell cycle regulators can lead to the development of cancer.

This interactive, modular lab explores the evolution of the anole lizards in the Caribbean through data collection and analysis.

This film describes natural selection and adaptation in populations of rock pocket mice living in the American Southwest.

This interactive module explores the diversity of viruses based on structure, genome type, host range, transmission mechanism, replication cycles, and vaccine availability.

This interactive module explores biomes, climate, biodiversity, and human impacts around the globe and at different times.

This interactive module allows students to explore the science of Earth's deep history, from its formation 4.5 billion years ago to modern times.
