Analyzing Science Practices and Concepts in Wild Hope

In this activity, students identify the science practices and concepts in a Wild Hope episode. 

Wild Hope is a series of short documentary films that highlight people working to protect species and ecosystems threatened by biodiversity loss. This activity encourages students to think more deeply about what they observe in the episodes. 

There are two versions of the “Student Handout” for this activity, based on different curricular frameworks. The “NGSS” handout uses the Next Generation Science Standards framework for high school life science. The “V&C” handout uses the Vision and Change framework for undergraduate biology.

The “Resource Google Folder” link directs to a Google Drive folder of resource documents in the Google Docs format. Not all downloadable documents for the resource may be available in this format. The Google Drive folder is set as “View Only”; to save a copy of a document in this folder to your Google Drive, open that document, then select File → “Make a copy.” These documents can be copied, modified, and distributed online following the Terms of Use listed in the “Details” section below, including crediting BioInteractive.
