In this card activity, students investigate the functions of major digestive organs.

In this activity, students investigate the phenomenon of lactase persistence by making sense of a series of data sets.

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

In this inquiry-based activity, students engage in science practices to figure out why some people with a genetic condition that usually leads to sickle cell disease do not have disease symptoms.
 

In this activity, students explore using CRISPR-Cas9 to knock out butterfly genes in order to determine their function.

In this hands-on activity, students build a paper model to explore how CRISPR-Cas9 is used to edit genes.

In this activity, students build a paper model of DNA and use their model to explore key structural features of the DNA double helix. This activity can be used to complement the short film The Double Helix.

This activity guides the analysis of a published scientific figure from a study that investigated how salt affects the electron transport chain.

This interactive module explores how CRISPR-Cas9 technology works and the many ways in which scientists are using it in their research.

In this hands-on activity, students review the steps of eukaryotic gene expression and learn how this knowledge can be used to treat different genetic conditions. The activity reinforces concepts covered in the Click & Learn “Central Dogma and Genetic Medicine.”

This activity accompanies the video Seed Dispersal and Habitat Fragmentation. Students use data from published studies to understand patterns of seed dispersal and apply these ideas to the design of a conservation area.

This activity supports the film Popped Secret: The Mysterious Origin of Corn. Students analyze data on the expression of the tb1 gene to explain how variations in this gene played a role in the evolution of corn.
