Hhmi: Bio Interactive: Stickleback Evolution Virtual Lab

How quickly do animals evolve? Can comparing different samples of the same fossil answer timeline questions? Scholars use virtual labs to examine fossils and learn about stickleback evolution. They compare pelvic morphology in lakes...

Students explore the evolution of the anole lizard in this virtual lab. Students will collect and analyze data during the virtual lab that focuses on evolutionary biology and includes adaptation, convergent evolution, phylogenetic...

This app will help students "learn about the science and techniques used to identify different types of bacteria based on their DNA sequences".

About 70 percent of the genes of the stickleback fish are the same as humans. In the video, scholars further explore the stickleback fish and its history, from being removed from Loberg Lake to their change and comeback. Over time, these...

An interactive virtual lab that allows students to isolate, copy, sequence and identify bacterial DNA. Excellent supporting information and resources for teachers and students.

Why do the bases in DNA pair up the way they do? Unravel the mystery of the double helix in a virtual lab. Young scientists follow in the footsteps of Watson and Crick to determine the free energy associated with DNA base pair binding....

All oxidation-reduction reactions can be reduced to a gain or loss of electrons. A two-part virtual lab first has users perform an experiment to order four metals from strongest to weakest reducing agent. It then requires aspiring...

A close-up look at the fossil records of the stickleback fish. [1:26]

Strong acids and bases don't hesitate to dissociate! Your chemistry class won't hesitate calculating pH either, thanks to an engaging simulation. Individuals perform a series of pH determinations on paper, then use the virtual lab to...

This series of three videos from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute explore major transitions in the history of life on earth. Videos cover the evolution of fish, reptiles that evolved to birds, and the origin of humans.
