This video follows an international team of researchers as they collect data to map migratory bird populations in the US and Mexico.

Getting students engaged in learning about the cell cycle can be difficult. In this Educator Voices article, educator Kathy Van Hoeck describes how she uses cancer as an anchoring phenomenon to spark student interest.

Asking scientific questions is a foundational skill that takes instructional support for students to develop. In this article, Bernice Brythorne outlines how she uses BioInteractive resources to get her students to formulate and refine scientific questions. 

Professor Melissa Haswell details a multiweek virtual model to develop basic scientific knowledge and skills using BioInteractive resources that culminates in an eight-week-long animal behavior research project.

This video presents an intriguing phenomenon: two patients who carry the same genetic variation, which is known to cause sickle cell disease, have very different outcomes.

Data Points are useful resources that use figures from the primary literature and guided sets of supporting questions. In this article, professor Phil Gibson discusses how he uses modified version of our Data Point activities as simplified case studies.

Planarians can be used to investigate a variety of biological phenomena like animal behavior, mitosis, taxonomy, and more. In this article from professor Karen Avery, see how she uses this unassuming model organism to teach concepts in cellular biology and genetics.

If you're interested in engaging students in environmental field research, this article from Tennessee educator Jeannie Long details how she connects our Gorongosa resources with students’ experiences in her local community.

This animation shows two examples of how the cell uses energy from ATP. It is the sixth of six animations about cellular respiration. These animations bring to life the molecular engines inside mitochondria that generate ATP, the main source of chemically stored energy used throughout the body.

This animation shows how the pyruvate dehydrogenase enzyme complex converts pyruvate into acetyl-CoA. It is the second of six animations about cellular respiration.

This animation shows how glycolysis converts glucose into pyruvate through a series of enzyme reactions. It is the first of six animations about cellular respiration. These animations bring to life the molecular engines inside mitochondria that generate ATP, the main source of chemically stored energy used throughout the body.

In this article, see a learning sequence where students explore symbiotic relationships and cell communication in bacteria (quorum sensing) by connecting their prior knowledge regarding ocean ecosystems to their understanding of symbiotic relationships.
