This activity explores images of planarians regenerating missing body parts, which serve as phenomena for learning about cell division and differentiation.

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 interactive module explores how mutations arise in germline and somatic cells. It also shows how these mutations can lead to genetic conditions, such as cystic fibrosis and cancer.

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

This interactive module explores the phases, checkpoints, and protein regulators of the cell cycle. The module also shows how mutations in genes that encode cell cycle regulators can lead to the development of cancer.

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

This video provides an overview of the types of genes that, when mutated, can lead to the development of cancer.

This animation shows how disrupting cellular processes in the intestines can lead to colon cancer.

This animation shows how varying concentrations of a signaling molecule activate different transcription factors to determine cell fate.

This animation shows how stem cells from early mammalian embryos can be grown and studied in a laboratory.

This animation describes the formation and fates of the three germ layers in a human embryo.
