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 interactive module allows students to explore concepts related to speciation by identifying which birds belong to one of two finch species.

This tutorial describes the symbiosis between the Hawaiian bobtail squid and bioluminescent bacteria.

This tutorial describes how bacteria communicate by a process known as quorum sensing, as shown through a series of experiments involving genetically engineered bioluminescent bacteria.

This interactive, modular lab explores the techniques used to identify different types of bacteria based on their DNA sequences.

This interactive, modular lab explores the tools that doctors use to examine and diagnose patients with heart conditions.

This playlist can be used to teach several core concepts in genetics and molecular biology by having students collect and interpret evidence to explain the biology of lactose intolerance. It can be used in a general high school biology course.

This playlist can be used to teach concepts in geology and evolution using mass extinction events. It can be used in general high school biology, environmental science, and earth science courses.

This playlist can be used to teach several core concepts of natural selection and speciation by connecting students to actual research on Caribbean anoles. It can be used in AP/IB Biology and undergraduate college courses.
