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

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

This activity guides the analysis of a published scientific figure from a study that investigated genetic factors contributing to skin color differences, particularly within African populations.

This activity guides the analysis of a published scientific figure from a study that investigated how salt affects the electron transport chain.

This activity accompanies the video Seed Dispersal and Habitat Fragmentation. Students use data from published studies to understand patterns of seed dispersal and apply these ideas to the design of a conservation area.

This activity supports the film Popped Secret: The Mysterious Origin of Corn. Students analyze data on the expression of the tb1 gene to explain how variations in this gene played a role in the evolution of corn.

This activity complements the video Virus Hunter: Monitoring Nipah Virus in Bat Populations. Students explore cases of Nipah virus infection, analyze evidence, and make calculations and predictions based on data.

This activity explores images of plant cells and structures, which serve as phenomena for learning about how plants respond to stimuli.

This activity outlines two demonstrations that model how enveloped and nonenveloped viruses are released from infected cells.

This demonstration models the first step of the HIV life cycle: the binding of HIV envelope proteins to receptors on human helper T cells.

This activity allows students to model how the anti-HIV drug AZT (azidothymidine) interferes with the process of viral replication.

In this hands-on activity, students model how a double-stranded DNA copy of the HIV genome is integrated into the host cell DNA.
