Role of p53 in the Cell Cycle

Data Points

This activity analyzes a published scientific figure from a study that investigated the role of p53 in cell cycle regulation.
Natural Selection and the Evolution of Darwin's Finches

Card Activities

In this activity, students develop arguments for the adaptation and natural selection of Darwin’s finches. Students use two key NGSS science and engineering practices: engaging in argument from evidence using mathematical and computational thinking, and analyzing and interpreting data.
Synchronized Division

Phenomenal Images

Students explore a photo of early embryonic cells as a phenomenon to learn about cell division and development.
West Nile Virus: Vectors and Hosts Game

Card Activities

This activity is a game that enacts the complexity of viral infections that involve different vectors and hosts.
Weighing the Evidence for a Mass Extinction: In the Ocean

Card Activities

This activity supports concepts covered in the short film The Day the Mesozoic Died by replicating observations and measurements made by researchers of fossilized protists, called foraminifera (or forams), below and above the K-T boundary.
