This video follows germplasm bank coordinator Cristian Zavala Espinosa and geneticist Sarah Hearne, who are part of the global effort to preserve the genetic diversity of maize (corn).
HHMI BioInteractive is a proud collaborator on a new project that reimagines the original Crash Course Biology series. In this article, science communicator Hank Green discusses how this collaboration will deliver value for both students and teachers for years to come.
In this Educator Voices article, professor John Moore describes a "backwards" approach to teaching energy use in cells that traces the process from ATP in use back through glycolysis.
This interactive tool introduces students to building scientific models. Educators can use the tool to create assignments and, in some cases, automatically grade student models.
Asking scientific questions is a foundational skill that takes instructional support for students to develop. In this article, Bernice O'Brien outlines how she uses BioInteractive resources to get her students to formulate and refine scientific questions.
This activity explores an image of a wildlife overpass crossing a major highway, which serves as a phenomenon for learning about habitat fragmentation and conservation.
This interactive module can be used to model infectious disease spread in a population. It includes background on the SIR model and two simulators for modeling disease spread on different scales.
In this Click & Learn, students explore factors that contribute to patterns seen in the Keeling Curve: a continuous record of atmospheric CO2 starting in 1958.
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.
