In this activity, students investigate the phenomenon of lactase persistence by making sense of a series of data sets.

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.

In this inquiry-based activity, students engage in science practices to figure out why some people with a genetic condition that usually leads to sickle cell disease do not have disease symptoms.
 

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.

This four-part animation series explores the biology of the virus SARS-CoV-2, which has caused a global pandemic of the disease COVID-19.

In this activity, students explore using CRISPR-Cas9 to knock out butterfly genes in order to determine their function.

In this hands-on activity, students build a paper model to explore how CRISPR-Cas9 is used to edit genes.

In this activity, students build a paper model of DNA and use their model to explore key structural features of the DNA double helix. This activity can be used to complement the short film The Double Helix.

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

This interactive module explores how CRISPR-Cas9 technology works and the many ways in which scientists are using it in their research.

In this hands-on activity, students review the steps of eukaryotic gene expression and learn how this knowledge can be used to treat different genetic conditions. The activity reinforces concepts covered in the Click & Learn “Central Dogma and Genetic Medicine.”
