Empowering Educators. Inspiring Students.

This video follows graduate student Jeremy Hemberger as he explains his experimental design for a study on the foraging behavior of bumble bees in different habitats.

In this lab activity, students rear mosquitoes to test variables that might affect the mosquito life cycle.

This activity guides the analysis of a published scientific figure from a study that tested how effectively mimicry protects arthropods against different types of predators.

This activity explores images of animals that live in groups, which serve as phenomena for learning about animal behavior.

This video case study explores whether fungicides play a role in the decline of bee populations.

This short video explores the mechanism by which a beewolf wasp passes antibiotic-producing bacteria to its offspring.

In this inquiry-based activity, students engage in science practices to figure out why some people with a genetic condition that usually leads to sickle cell disease do not have disease symptoms.
 

This activity provides three sets of cards that can be used to reflect on the nature and dimensions of science.
 

In this inquiry-based activity, students engage in science practices to figure out ways environmental factors drive the natural selection and adaptation of Galápagos finches.

This video presents an intriguing phenomenon: two patients who carry the same genetic variation, which is known to cause sickle cell disease, have very different outcomes.

This activity guides the analysis of a published scientific figure from a study that investigated how human populations might adapt to milk consumption, both genetically and culturally. 

In this inquiry-based activity, students investigate the phenomenon of fur colors in rock pocket mice to connect genotypes to phenotypes and molecular genetics to evolution.

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 multipart animation series explores the process of photosynthesis and the structures that carry it out.

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

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

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

This film explores the hypothesis that different tones of skin color in humans arose as adaptations to the intensity of ultraviolet radiation in different parts of the world.
