RESOURCE	GRADE LEVEL	MEDIA TYPE
The Three Levels of Biodiversity This interactive adapted from Kentucky's Natural Heritage: An Illustrated Guide to Biodiversity, introduces learners to the three levels of biodiversity: genetic, species, and ecosystem.	5-8	Interactive
American Chestnut Tree This annotated slideshow adapted from KET's Electronic Field Trip to the Forest illustrates how blight decimated the American chestnut tree and the methods scientists use to identify and pollinate the remaining trees to create blight-resistant trees.	6-12	Interactive
Animal Cloning 101 Learn about clones and explore the methods scientists use to create clones in the lab in this interactive activity from the Dolan DNA Learning Center.	9-12	Interactive
Cell Membrane: Just Passing Through This interactive feature describes some of the most important structures and functions of the cell membrane.	6-12	Interactive
Cell Transcription and Translation In this interactive activity adapted from the University of Nebraska, learn how and where transcription and translation occur within a cell and observe both processes in detail.	9-12	Interactive
Create a DNA Fingerprint Learn DNA profiling, the technique police use to catch the guilty and free the innocent. From NOVA: "The Killer's Trail" Web site.	6-12	Interactive
DNA Extraction This interactive activity adapted from the University of Nebraska's Plant and Soil Sciences eLibrary illustrates how DNA, which is normally locked inside of cells, is extracted from living tissue.	9-12	Interactive
DNA Libraries This interactive resource adapted from the Dolan DNA Learning Center explores the different types of DNA libraries used to store and access genetic information.	9-12	Interactive
DNA Sequencing This interactive activity adapted from the Dolan DNA Learning Center looks at two techniques used to sequence DNA: the Sanger method and an automated process based on the Sanger method.	9-12	Interactive
Look At Me Now Children go through countless physical changes during the first year of their life. Look At Me Now, an original KET interactive, depicts a year in the life of a baby through photos, and highlights the changes we experience while growing.	Pre-K-1	Interactive
From Seed to Fruit Interactive Children get a glimpse of what happens underground in the life of a cherry tomato plant in this original animated video from KET.	Pre-K-1	Interactive
Gallery of Visual Illusions Are your eyes playing tricks on you? Discover more about eyesight and the brain as you test your eyes with these visual illusions adapted from the University of Washington's Neuroscience for Kids Web site.	5-12	Interactive
Gel Electrophoresis This interactive activity from the Dolan DNA Learning Center illustrates the process of gel electrophoresis, in which DNA fragments are separated by size as they migrate at different rates through a gel matrix.	6-12	Interactive
Gene Cloning This interactive activity adapted from the University of Nebraska's Library of Crop Technologies details the steps involved in producing clones of genes that can then be used to transform the characteristics of an organism.	9-12	Interactive
Life Cycle of a Seed Plant In this interactive activity adapted from the University of Alberta, learn about each step in the life cycle of a seed plant.	6-12	Interactive
Mendel's Laws of Genetic Inheritance This interactive activity, adapted from the Dolan DNA Learning Center, uses Punnett squares to illustrate Mendel's laws of inheritance and how a particular gene combination results in a 3-to-1 ratio of dominant-to-recessive traits.	6-12	Interactive
Model Organisms This interactive activity from the Dolan DNA Learning Center shows the different types of model organisms used in research and why each might be selected when performing an experiment.	9-12	Interactive
Polymerase Chain Reaction This interactive activity adapted from the University of Nebraska's Library of Crop Technologies depicts steps in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique and explains how it is used to efficiently copy sections of DNA for analysis.	9-12	Interactive
Some Genes Are Dominant This interactive activity, adapted from the Dolan DNA Learning Center, illustrates how Gregor Mendel used pure-bred yellow and green peas to show that some genes are dominant and others are recessive.	6-12	Interactive
Supermarket Botany Can you eat the stem, root, or seed of a plant? In this interactive activity adapted from the Missouri Botanical Garden and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, test your knowledge of plant parts by identifying everyday foods as plant parts.	2-5	Interactive
Therapeutic Uses of Stem Cells This interactive activity adapted from the HHMI Outreach Program at Harvard University explores the many potential uses of stem cells to treat and cure disease.	8-12	Interactive
What Is a Theory? In these two audio interviews from NOVA Online, learn about the difference between the common understanding of the word "theory" and how science uses the term.	6-12	Interactive
