Use the controls to explore this fragment of a much longer DNA strand. Can you find the four different base pairs that DNA is constructed from?

Explore how the code embedded in DNA is translated into a protein. Click Transcribe to zoom into the cell nucleus and see the chromosome unravel to expose the strands of DNA. The DNA separates and an mRNA strand is created by matching complementary nucleotides. Click Translate to watch the mRNA leave the nucleus for the cytoplasm and attach to a ribosome. tRNA molecules bring in amino acids and the amino acids are added in the correct order by matching complementary nucleotides. After translation, inspect the protein to see how the amino acid sequence folded.

What could you possibly have in common with a mushroom, or a dinosaur, or even a bacterium? More than you might think. In this Lab, you’ll puzzle out the evolutionary relationships linking together a spectacular array of species. Explore the tree of life and get a front row seat to what some have called the greatest show on Earth. That show is evolution.

FlyLab JS is an educational application for learning the principles of genetic inheritance. Users design crosses between female and male fruit flies carrying one or more genetic mutations. They can make hypotheses for the mode of inheritance of genetic traits and test their hypotheses by selecting fruit flies with different visible mutations, mating them, and analyzing the phenotypic ratios of the offspring. Results can be recorded into an online notebook which can be exported as a web page for later use.

With FlyLab JS, it is possible to study multiple generations of offspring, and perform testcrosses and backcrosses. FlyLab JS is a versatile program; it can be used to learn elementary genetic principles such as dominance and recessive alleles, and Mendelian ratios, or more complex concepts such as sex-linkage, epistasis, recombination, and genetic mapping.

Amazing videos to learn most anything related to math or science (and a bit of soc). Select Playlists from the top menu to see videos grouped by topic.

This simulation introduces gel electrophoresis, a technique used to separate biological molecules. In this simulation, gel electrophoresis is used to separate dyes and visualize them in an agarose gel.

Real science, real stories, and real data to engage students in exploring the living world.

BioInteractive offers an array of engaging resources including videos, simulations, virtual labs, and classroom activities, all designed to bring biological research to life. These resources are accompanied by thorough teacher guides written by educators.

Covering topics like evolution, ecology, genetics, biodiversity, and human health, the activities are based on real research, such as data from Gorongosa National Park's trail cameras used to create biomass pyramids. Teachers can easily navigate through the materials by topic or resource type, with options like Collections or Short Courses available. Additionally, film guides, posters, and downloadable apps are provided to support classroom integration.

One strand of the DNA is used as a template to create an mRNA copy. This process is called transcription. An mRNA copy needs to be made because DNA cannot leave the nucleus. Protein complexes separate the DNA helix to allow complementary mRNA nucleotides to bind to the DNA sequence. The pairing of nucleotides is very specific. Use the A, U, G and C buttons to place the correct mRNA nucleotide with each DNA nucleotide.

Mr. Gunstenson is a teacher based in Herbert School, Chinook School Division. He has a google site for all of his classes. He teaches a multitude of classes including these science classes: Science 7-10, Health Science 20, Biology 30, Physical Science 20, and Chemistry 30. He has lesson notes and worksheets for most of his classes posted on this site.

Mutations are mistakes in the DNA sequence. Use the Edit DNA button to change the entire sequence or click on an individual nucleotide to make an insertion, deletion or substitution mutation. How does changing the DNA sequence change the resulting protein? You can quickly jump between the DNA sequence and final protein by using the Show DNA and Show protein buttons. Are some types of mutations more damaging than others?

First Nations University has developed a new science teaching resource called the National Science Laboratory Video Lessons for Indigenous Youth. The resource includes a variety of materials that bring together Indigenous knowledge and modern science, such as interviews with elders and knowledge keepers, laboratory manuals, and videos of lab experiments completed by students at Carlton Comprehensive High School in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.

FNU professor and project lead Arzu Sardarli explained that Indigenous knowledge on topics such as heat retention in teepees can be explained using the laws of physics and applied toward house construction today. "It's important not only for Indigenous students, it's very helpful for any student and I hope what we created within this project will be used by mainstream schools, too,” said Sardarli.

The educational materials developed include interviews with Elders and Knowledge Keepers, and laboratory manuals and videos for high school Biology, Chemistry and Physics classes.

Over 150 simulations, ready to use and ready to bring concepts to life for your students in Math & Science!

Nature’s best kept secret is a wonder molecule called RNA. It is central to the origin of life, evolution, and the cellular machinery that keeps us alive. In this Lab you’ll play the role of a molecular engineer by solving RNA folding puzzles. Then take your skills to Eterna, where you can design RNAs that could be at the heart of future life-saving therapies.

This simulation provides an opportunity to practice a restriction digest in a virtual lab setting. Restriction enzymes are used to cut the DNA strands of two plasmids, producing DNA fragments with complementary sticky ends that can be reassembled to create a recombinant plasmid.
