A number of questions are embedded within the short film The Origin of Species: The Beak of the Finch, which explores four decades of research on the evolution of the Galápagos finches.

A number of questions are embedded within the short film The Making of the Fittest: The Birth and Death of Genes, which illustrates how gene duplications and mutations have led to remarkable physiological adaptations in Antarctic fish.

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

This interactive, modular lab explores the evolution of the anole lizards in the Caribbean through data collection and analysis.

This animation shows how a single species can give rise to many different species with distinct traits, using anole lizards as an example.

This interactive module allows students to explore concepts related to speciation by identifying which birds belong to one of two finch species.

This film explores four decades of research on the evolution of Galápagos finches, which has illuminated how species form and diversify.

This film explores the adaptation of anole lizards (genus Anolis) to habitats common across the islands of the Caribbean. The anoles are excellent examples of adaptive radiation, convergent evolution, and speciation through reproductive isolation.

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.
