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

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 module introduces the anatomy of the immune system and walks through the timeline of a typical immune response.

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

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.

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

This interactive module traces the evolutionary history of birds by comparing the bone structures of a chicken to those of other species.

The added information provided at pause points within the animation How We Get Our Skin Color allows for a richer exploration of the topic of human skin structure and function.

This interactive module explores the phases, checkpoints, and protein regulators of the cell cycle. The module also shows how mutations in genes that encode cell cycle regulators can lead to the development of cancer.

This interactive module shows how DNA sequences can be used to infer evolutionary relationships among organisms and represent them as phylogenetic trees.

This tutorial describes the principles of DNA sequencing and sequence assembly, and shows how they apply to different sequencing techniques.
