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

In this phenomenon-driven activity, students investigate how cells are signaled to make melanin and explain how mutations in melanin pathway proteins affect the coat color of various organisms.

In this activity, students interpret several pedigrees of autosomal dominant and recessive conditions and consider the benefits and limitations of genetic testing.

This highly customizable activity guides students through organizing and documenting spreadsheet data during a class investigation.

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.
 

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

This web tool provides a quick and easy way of visualizing and analyzing data without advanced technological requirements.

In this activity, students work with authentic research data to explore the impact of poaching on African elephants.

This video case study explores the approaches scientists used to identify a mutation that causes retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a progressive disease that leads to blindness.

This activity builds on information presented in the short film Genes as Medicine. Students interpret actual pedigrees to determine the inheritance pattern of Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA), an inherited form of blindness. They also examine protein sequence data to explore mutations that can cause LCA.

This activity explores an image of tattoo ink particles inside cells, which serves as a phenomenon for learning about the structure and color of human skin.
