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

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 activity, students explore using CRISPR-Cas9 to knock out butterfly genes in order to determine their function.

In this activity, students analyze aspects of a scientific paper that investigates genes involved in the colors and patterns of butterfly wings.

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

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 images of animals with a mutation that affects coloration, which serve as phenomena for learning about skin color genetics and evolution.

This interactive module explores how CRISPR-Cas9 technology works and the many ways in which scientists are using it in their research.

This activity explores the content and research presented in the short film Genes as Medicine, which tells the story of how scientists succeeded in developing a gene therapy for a type of congenital blindness.

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