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

This Click & Learn traces the flow of energy from the Sun all the way to cells within organisms. The embedded questions and calculations guide students’ understanding of how energy is distributed through a variety of ecosystems.

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

This interactive module allows students to collect and analyze data from a virtual river to construct biomass and energy pyramids.

This interactive module consists of a virtual Winogradsky column, which can be used to explore the diversity of microbes, microbial metabolic strategies, and geochemical gradients found in sediments.

This interactive module explores how different animals — elephants, birds, and bats — have evolved distinct ways of using sound to communicate.

This interactive module explores examples of how changes in one species can affect species at other trophic levels and ultimately the entire ecosystem.

This interactive module allows students to investigate their own ecological questions using data collected by trail cameras in Gorongosa National Park in Mozambique.

This interactive module explores key human impacts on the environment and how they have affected Earth’s landscape, ocean, atmosphere, and biodiversity.

This interactive module explores how the changes in oxygen levels throughout Earth’s history have impacted the planet’s environment and types of life.

This interactive module explores the different gaits employed by animals and how the nervous system is able to switch between gaits.

This tutorial explores how fat is digested, transported, stored, and used for energy.
