What students do
Someone has locked Professor Darwina in her lab the night before she publishes her research: Are humans animals? Students investigate clues, run experiments, and crack the case – who locked her in, and why?
Investigate clues
Students collect evidence and build their own theory of human evolution.
Run experiments
Interactive simulations — including a live embryo growth simulator.
Crack the case
Students think like real researchers and detectives.
Collaborate to solve
Works solo, in pairs, or as a whole class. Students drive the pace.
