This interactive module consists of a virtual Winogradsky column, which can be used to explore the diversity of microbes, microbial metabolic strategies, and geochemical gradients found in sediments.

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.

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.

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

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.
