This interactive video explores how two scientists tracked the 2013 Ebola outbreak in West Africa. 

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

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 explores how mutations arise in germline and somatic cells. It also shows how these mutations can lead to genetic conditions, such as cystic fibrosis and cancer.

Several questions are embedded within the short film The Making of the Fittest: Got Lactase? The Co-evolution of Genes and Culture, which explores the genetics of lactase persistence and evolution of the trait in some human populations.

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 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.

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

This tutorial describes the various forms of “fat” — from a tissue, to a cell type, to a class of molecules.

This interactive, modular lab explores the tools that doctors use to examine and diagnose patients with heart conditions.
