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.

A number of questions are embedded within the short film The Origin of Species: The Beak of the Finch, which explores four decades of research on the evolution of the Galápagos finches.

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

This interactive, modular lab explores the evolution of the anole lizards in the Caribbean through data collection and analysis.

This animation shows how a single species can give rise to many different species with distinct traits, using anole lizards as an example.

This interactive module allows students to explore concepts related to speciation by identifying which birds belong to one of two finch species.

This film explores four decades of research on the evolution of Galápagos finches, which has illuminated how species form and diversify.

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