This activity guides the analysis of a published scientific figure from a study that compared the testosterone levels of Olympic-level elite athletes.

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

This activity explores the content presented in the animated video How Tube Worms Survive at Hydrothermal Vents, which tells the story of the symbiotic relationship between the giant tube worm and chemosynthetic bacteria.

This activity analyzes a published scientific figure from a study assessing if the microbiota from a mother affects the immune systems of the developing offspring.

The activity introduces students to the concept of biomes, using Gorongosa National Park as a case study. Part of the activity involves exploring the Gorongosa National Park Interactive Map.

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

This activity guides students through building a conceptual model of how carbon dioxide affects Earth’s climate.

This activity instructs students how to build their own Winogradsky columns, which provide visual examples of the diverse modes of metabolism in the microbial world.

This activity allows students to observe their own planarian and then design an experiment to investigate how planarians regenerate. It supports viewing of the video Identifying Key Genes in Regeneration.

This playlist can be used to teach several core topics in ecology by connecting students to actual research being conducted in Gorongosa National Park in Mozambique. It can be used in general high school biology and environmental science courses.

This playlist can be used in an online, undergraduate (majors-level) introductory biology lab to incorporate core topics in cellular and molecular biology.
