In this activity, students use an interactive tool to simulate how scientists collected and used sample data to estimate elephant population sizes.

This web tool provides a quick and easy way of visualizing and analyzing data without advanced technological requirements.

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 video case study explores whether elephants can detect, interpret, and respond to signals delivered by underground vibrations.

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

This interactive module explores niche partitioning, a mechanism that enables similar species of animals to coexist.

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 how different animals — elephants, birds, and bats — have evolved distinct ways of using sound to communicate.

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

A number of interactive questions are embedded within the short film The Making of the Fittest: Evolving Switches, Evolving Bodies, which illustrates how mutations in gene regulatory regions can result in the evolution of major anatomical features.

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.
