Classroom Resources

This interactive tool introduces students to building scientific models. Educators can use the tool to create assignments and, in some cases, automatically grade student models. 

This tool can be used to add pause points, questions, and labels to any BioInteractive video. It also includes a library of ready-to-use videos with embedded questions.

In this activity, students engage in key science practices that scientists used to figure out ecosystem dynamics in the Serengeti.

This activity guides students through learning and using key scientific terms, culminating in the creation of a customizable diagram.
 

This interactive video explores how scientists identify which bat populations are infected with Nipah virus and could transmit the virus to humans.

This activity provides three sets of cards that can be used to reflect on the nature and dimensions of science.
 

In this inquiry-based activity, students engage in science practices to figure out ways environmental factors drive the natural selection and adaptation of Galápagos finches.

This video shows how a group of students, scientists, and volunteers came together to make hand sanitizer and masks for their community during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This video follows scientists working in Gorongosa National Park as they try to determine the genes responsible for tusk development in elephants.

In this Click & Learn, students explore mathematical models that describe how populations change over time and apply these models to the invasive lionfish population in the Bahamas. They also use data from other species to learn how density-dependent factors limit population size.

In this activity, students evaluate a science news article to determine whether it is a trustworthy source of information.

In this activity, students find a scientist with whom they can relate in some way and then explore and reflect upon the impact of that scientist’s work.
