Apply today for the HHMI BioInteractive Ambassador Academy! The Academy is a multi-year professional development experience designed to support evidence-based teaching practices. We’re looking for educators with diverse backgrounds and teaching contexts who are committed to centering equity in their classrooms.
In this Educator Voices article, professor John Moore describes a "backwards" approach to teaching energy use in cells that traces the process from ATP in use back through glycolysis.
Britain’s fertility regulator on Wednesday confirmed the births of the U.K.'s first babies created using an experimental technique combining DNA from three people, an effort to prevent the children from inheriting rare genetic diseases.
This interactive tool introduces students to building scientific models. Educators can use the tool to create assignments and, in some cases, automatically grade student models.
Asking scientific questions is a foundational skill that takes instructional support for students to develop. In this article, Bernice Brythorne outlines how she uses BioInteractive resources to get her students to formulate and refine scientific questions.
This activity explores an image of a wildlife overpass crossing a major highway, which serves as a phenomenon for learning about habitat fragmentation and conservation.
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.
In this Click & Learn, students explore factors that contribute to patterns seen in the Keeling Curve: a continuous record of atmospheric CO2 starting in 1958.
Doug Whitney inherited the same gene mutation that gave Alzheimer’s disease to generations of relatives by the average age of 50. Yet at 73, his mind is sharp. To scientists he offers a chance to learn how the body may resist Alzheimer’s.
Scientists are studying dogs around the Chernobyl nuclear power plant to see whether anything in their genes helped their families survive the harshest, most degraded environments.
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.
