In this activity, students engage with an example from the Serengeti ecosystem to illustrate the exchange of nutrients between plants, animals, and the environment.

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

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 video describes how scientists silence different genes in regenerating planaria to study the process of regeneration at the molecular level.

This activity guides the analysis of a published scientific figure from a study that explored how dinosaurs may have regulated their body temperatures.

This activity extends concepts covered in the film The Origin of Birds. Students analyze and interpret data from a scientific paper to explore thermoregulation in living and extinct animals, including dinosaurs.

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

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 tutorial describes how animals differ in their abilities to heal wounds and regenerate lost body parts or damaged tissues.

This tutorial explores how stem cells can be used to treat a wide range of diseases.

This video shows real footage of somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) being performed on eggs.

This animation gives an overview of how a fertilized human egg develops into an embryo.
