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

This interactive module can be used to model infectious disease spread in a population. It includes background on the SIR model and two simulators for modeling disease spread on different scales. 

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 interactive video explores how scientists identify which bat populations are infected with Nipah virus and could transmit the virus to humans.

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 interactive module allows students to collect and analyze data from a virtual river to construct biomass and energy pyramids.

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 CRISPR-Cas9 technology works and the many ways in which scientists are using it in their research.

This interactive module uses the central dogma as a model for exploring how modern molecular biology technologies can be used to treat different genetic conditions.

This interactive module explores examples of how changes in one species can affect species at other trophic levels and ultimately the entire ecosystem.

This interactive module explores the diversity of viruses based on structure, genome type, host range, transmission mechanism, replication cycles, and vaccine availability.

This interactive module allows students to use DNA profiling and related biological concepts to solve two cases of elephant poaching.
