This activity explores images of planarians regenerating missing body parts, which serve as phenomena for learning about cell division and differentiation.

This video describes how scientists silence different genes in regenerating planaria to study the process of regeneration at the molecular level.

This activity allows students to observe their own planarian and then design an experiment to investigate how planarians regenerate. It supports viewing of the video Identifying Key Genes in Regeneration.

This tutorial describes how animals differ in their abilities to heal wounds and regenerate lost body parts or damaged tissues.
