Science and Global Issues, Biology Units
The four units in this program look at the issues of human impact on ecosystems, world health, genetically modified organisms, and biodiversity — complex issues that have no simple solutions. Each unit is made up of several learning sequences, each driven by an investigative phenomenon. Sustainability, the program's introductory sequence, highlights many foundational concepts.

LABsents
Lab-Aids developed LABsent videos for students who miss activities in the classroom, but can now easily make up the work without requiring teachers to give up prep or after-school time to supervise.
The LABsent packet mirrors the lesson done in class, including questions asked and data collected. Absent students are asked to complete the portion(s) of the activities that they missed, allowing them to return to class ready to move forward with their classmates. Watch to learn more about LABsent videos.
Digital Simulations and Support
Simulations follow and enhance a concrete classroom experience. Simulations are used as models when a first-hand experience is not possible.
