This interactive module introduces the anatomy of the immune system and walks through the timeline of a typical immune response.

The added information provided at pause points within the animation Coral Bleaching allows for a richer exploration of coral reefs, symbiosis, and other topics in biology.

This video case study explores whether elephants can detect, interpret, and respond to signals delivered by underground vibrations.

This interactive module explores niche partitioning, a mechanism that enables similar species of animals to coexist.

This interactive module explores how different animals — elephants, birds, and bats — have evolved distinct ways of using sound to communicate.

This interactive module explores examples of how changes in one species can affect species at other trophic levels and ultimately the entire ecosystem.

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

This interactive module explores the environmental factors and species involved in five major mass extinctions.

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.

Several questions are embedded within the short film The Day the Mesozoic Died, which tells the story of the scientific quest to explain one of the greatest, long-standing scientific mysteries: the sudden disappearance of the dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous period.

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.
