This film explores the evolutionary connection between an infectious disease, malaria, and a genetic condition, sickle cell disease.

This video presents an intriguing phenomenon: two patients who carry the same genetic variation, which is known to cause sickle cell disease, have very different outcomes.

This film describes the scientific principles and the research efforts involved in the development of a gene therapy for a congenital form of blindness, and how a young patient benefited from this medical breakthrough.

This animated short video celebrates the early 20th-century German astronomer and atmospheric scientist Alfred Wegener, who first proposed that continents once formed a single landmass and had drifted apart.

This interactive module explores key human impacts on the environment and how they have affected Earth’s landscape, ocean, atmosphere, and biodiversity.

This animation provides an overview of some basic concepts from plate tectonics, a fundamental theory in earth science.

This video provides a demonstration of the principle of isostasy, the idea that the continental crust “floats” on the underlying mantle.

This animation explores how carbon enters the atmosphere and can be removed through a series of chemical reactions.

This interactive module allows students to explore the science of Earth's deep history, from its formation 4.5 billion years ago to modern times.

This video provides a demonstration of two main principles in the study of rock layers: superposition and association.

This video shows real footage of courtship behavior of fruit flies with wing spots.
