In this Click & Learn, students explore the process of digestion and how it connects to metabolism and cellular respiration. 

This interactive module allows students and educators to build models that explain how the Earth system works. The Click & Learn can be used to show how Earth is affected by human activities and natural phenomena.

This interactive module explores the biology of sex determination and development in humans, set against the backdrop of the different sex testing policies implemented throughout sports history.

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 allows students to examine evidence from brain anatomy, tissue histology, and genetic studies to identify possible targets for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.

Several questions are embedded within the short film The Making of the Fittest: Got Lactase? The Co-evolution of Genes and Culture, which explores the genetics of lactase persistence and evolution of the trait in some human populations.

Several questions are embedded within the short film The Making of the Fittest: Natural Selection and Adaptation, which uses the rock pocket mouse as a living example of natural selection.

This tutorial describes how neurons generate action potentials, and how scientists measure neuronal activity and record the firing of individual neurons.

This interactive module explores the different gaits employed by animals and how the nervous system is able to switch between gaits.

This tutorial describes the various forms of “fat” — from a tissue, to a cell type, to a class of molecules.

This tutorial explores how fat is digested, transported, stored, and used for energy.

This interactive, modular lab explores techniques for identifying and recording the electrical activities of neurons, using the leech as a model organism.
