This interactive module allows students to use DNA profiling and related biological concepts to solve two cases of elephant poaching.

A number of questions are embedded within the short film Popped Secret: The Mysterious Origin of Corn, which explores the genetic and archaeological evidence that corn was domesticated from a wild Mexican grass called teosinte.

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.

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

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

This tutorial describes the principles of DNA sequencing and sequence assembly, and shows how they apply to different sequencing techniques.

This tutorial describes how DNA microarrays called Virochips are designed to detect known viruses and discover new ones.

This tutorial explains how scientists analyze and interpret the large data sets generated by DNA microarrays.

This interactive, modular lab explores the techniques used to identify different types of bacteria based on their DNA sequences.

This playlist can be used to teach concepts in geology and evolution using mass extinction events. It can be used in general high school biology, environmental science, and earth science courses.

This playlist can be used to teach several core concepts of natural selection and speciation by connecting students to actual research on Caribbean anoles. It can be used in AP/IB Biology and undergraduate college courses.

This playlist can be used to teach several core topics in evolution by exploring examples of lizard species evolution and the effects of mass extinctions on tetrapod evolution. It can be used in undergraduate biology courses.
