This activity explores an image of a moth with unusual markings on its wings, which serves as a phenomenon for learning about mimicry and adaptation.

This video case study explores whether elephants can detect, interpret, and respond to signals delivered by underground vibrations.

This activity explores an image of termite mounds in the African savanna, which serves as a phenomenon for learning about ecosystems, competition, and feedback loops.

In this activity, students will be guided through making observations using trail camera data collected in Gorongosa National Park, developing and investigating a scientifically testable research question, and analyzing their results.

This interactive module explores niche partitioning, a mechanism that enables similar species of animals to coexist.

This activity explores images of animals that live in groups, which serve as phenomena for learning about animal behavior.

This activity explores an image of a mosquito’s mouthparts, which serves as a phenomenon for learning about vectors of disease.

This video follows scientists as they uncover the ways in which moth species in Gorongosa National Park use ultrasound to avoid being eaten by bats.

This activity explores an image of an anole lizard, which serves as a phenomenon for learning about adaptations and natural selection.

This interactive, modular lab explores the evolution of the anole lizards in the Caribbean through data collection and analysis.

This activity explores the concepts and research on the anole lizards discussed in the short film The Origin of Species: Lizards in an Evolutionary Tree, including adaptation by natural selection, convergent evolution, and the formation of new species.

This interactive, modular lab explores the techniques used to make transgenic flies and demonstrates how these flies can be used to study gene expression.
