This interactive module allows students and educators to build models that explain how the Earth system works. The Click & Learn can be used to show how Earth is affected by human activities and natural phenomena.

This interactive module traces the evolutionary history of birds by comparing the bone structures of a chicken to those of other species.

A number of questions are embedded within the short film The Making of the Fittest: The Birth and Death of Genes, which illustrates how gene duplications and mutations have led to remarkable physiological adaptations in Antarctic fish.

This interactive module explores the circulatory systems of major vertebrate groups to gain insights into their evolution.

This video provides an overview of the types of genes that, when mutated, can lead to the development of cancer.

This film explores the adaptation of anole lizards (genus Anolis) to habitats common across the islands of the Caribbean. The anoles are excellent examples of adaptive radiation, convergent evolution, and speciation through reproductive isolation.

This film explores how gene duplications and mutations have led to remarkable physiological adaptations in Antarctic fish.

This tutorial describes three examples of recent human adaptations: lactose tolerance, sickle cell disease, and bitter taste perception.

This interactive module shows how DNA sequences can be used to infer evolutionary relationships among organisms and represent them as phylogenetic trees.

This animation shows how a mutation that allows adult humans to digest milk can be lost or spread under different circumstances.

This interactive module allows students to compare the morphological characteristics of seashells and construct an evolutionary tree.

This animation shows how zebrafish can rapidly heal wounds to the heart.
