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

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

This activity guides the analysis of a published scientific figure from a study that investigated how gene duplication contributed to the evolution of electric fish.

This activity explores an image of tumor cells invading muscle tissue, which serves as a phenomenon for learning about cancer, mutations, and cell division.

This activity analyzes a published scientific figure from a study that investigated the role of p53 in cell cycle regulation.

This activity analyzes a published scientific figure from a study that investigated the biological importance of sleep. In this study, scientists tested whether sleep plays a role in removing harmful substances from the brain.

This activity guides the analysis of a published scientific figure from a study that explored how dinosaurs may have regulated their body temperatures.

This activity guides the analysis of a published scientific figure from a study that investigated whether there is a correlation between a population’s diet and copies of a certain gene.

This activity extends concepts covered in the film The Origin of Birds. Students analyze and interpret data from a scientific paper to explore thermoregulation in living and extinct animals, including dinosaurs.

This activity allows students to use authentic scientific data to make claims about the threat of coral bleaching for reefs around the world.

This activity explores an image of early embryonic cells, which serves as a phenomenon for learning about cell division and development.

These two hands-on activities engage students in exploring the genetic basis of cancer using cards and posters.
