This video follows scientists working in Gorongosa National Park as they try to determine the genes responsible for tusk development in elephants.

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

This interactive video explores how two scientists tracked the 2013 Ebola outbreak in West Africa. 

In this Click & Learn, students explore factors that contribute to patterns seen in the Keeling Curve: a continuous record of atmospheric CO₂ starting in 1958.

This Click & Learn traces the flow of energy from the Sun all the way to cells within organisms. The embedded questions and calculations guide students’ understanding of how energy is distributed through a variety of ecosystems.

This Click & Learn shows that keystone species exist across a variety of ecosystems and can exert their influence in different ways.

This film begins with phenomena linked to climate change and then examines how Earth’s temperature is controlled, how we know it is changing, and how the current changes compare to those over the last 800,000 years.

The added information provided at pause points within the animation Coral Bleaching allows for a richer exploration of coral reefs, symbiosis, and other topics in biology.

This video follows biologist Shane Campbell-Staton, who is studying the adaptations that allow deer mice living at high elevations to stay warm and active during the winter.

This film explores the foundational research in the Serengeti National Park, Tanzania, that uncovered many of the ecological principles that govern how animal populations and communities are regulated.

This interactive module allows students to examine fossils of early humans and compare them to modern primates.

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.
