Classroom Resources

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

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

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.

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 learn about the factors that regulate the population sizes of wildebeest and buffalo in Serengeti National Park.

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

In this activity, students engage with an example from the Serengeti ecosystem to illustrate the exchange of nutrients between plants, animals, and the environment.

This video case study explores whether fungicides play a role in the decline of bee populations.

This activity explores images of animals with a mutation that affects coloration, which serve as phenomena for learning about skin color genetics and evolution.

This activity explores images of bats with an infectious fungal disease, which serve as phenomena for learning about population dynamics and disease impacts.
