In this card activity, students investigate the functions of major digestive organs.

In this phenomenon-driven activity, students investigate how cells are signaled to make melanin and explain how mutations in melanin pathway proteins affect the coat color of various organisms.

In this Click & Learn, students explore the process of digestion and how it connects to metabolism and cellular respiration. 

This interactive module introduces the anatomy of the immune system and walks through the timeline of a typical immune response.

This video follows biologist Shane Campbell-Staton, who is studying the adaptations that allow deer mice living at high elevations to stay warm and active during the winter.

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

This activity analyzes a published scientific figure from a study that investigated the role of p53 in cell cycle regulation.

The added information provided at pause points within the animation How We Get Our Skin Color allows for a richer exploration of the topic of human skin structure and function.

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.

These two hands-on activities engage students in exploring the genetic basis of cancer using cards and posters.
