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

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

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 playlist can be used to teach several core concepts in evolution and molecular biology by connecting students to actual research on the rock pocket mouse. It can be used in a general high school biology course.

This playlist can be used to teach several core topics in genetics and molecular biology related to the central dogma by connecting students with case studies about the rock pocket mouse and genetic medicine. It can be used in undergraduate biology courses.

This playlist can be used to teach several core topics in cell biology and genetics by connecting students with case studies and multimedia resources about cancer. It can be used in undergraduate biology courses.

This playlist can be used in an online, undergraduate (majors-level) introductory biology lab to incorporate core topics in cellular and molecular biology.

This playlist can be used to teach about the biology of viruses and epidemiology in an online setting. It can be used in AP/IB Biology and undergraduate college courses.
