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

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

This interactive video explores how two scientists tracked the 2013 Ebola outbreak in West Africa. 

This interactive video explores how scientists identify which bat populations are infected with Nipah virus and could transmit the virus to humans.

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.

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

This activity complements the video Virus Hunter: Monitoring Nipah Virus in Bat Populations. Students explore cases of Nipah virus infection, analyze evidence, and make calculations and predictions based on data.

This activity outlines two demonstrations that model how enveloped and nonenveloped viruses are released from infected cells.

This demonstration models the first step of the HIV life cycle: the binding of HIV envelope proteins to receptors on human helper T cells.

This activity allows students to model how the anti-HIV drug AZT (azidothymidine) interferes with the process of viral replication.

In this hands-on activity, students model how a double-stranded DNA copy of the HIV genome is integrated into the host cell DNA.
