This activity guides the analysis of a published scientific figure from a study that explored the evolutionary origins of parasitic beetles that mimic army ants.

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 guides the analysis of a published scientific figure from a study that tested how effectively mimicry protects arthropods against different types of predators.

This activity guides the analysis of a published scientific figure from a study that tested how bats use echolocation to adjust their hunting behavior.

This interactive module explores examples of how changes in one species can affect species at other trophic levels and ultimately the entire ecosystem.

In this activity, students make claims about different niche partitioning mechanisms based on scientific data.

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 guides the analysis of a published scientific figure from a study that investigated how a new predator affected the behavior of Bahaman anoles.
