This case study follows a 2020 COVID-19 outbreak on a cruise ship to highlight how control measures like lockdown impact disease spread.

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

In this collaborative activity, students explore major biodiversity threats and design, present, and refine solutions for preserving biodiversity.

In this activity, students use an interactive tool to simulate how scientists collected and used sample data to estimate elephant population sizes.

In this activity, students interpret several pedigrees of autosomal dominant and recessive conditions and consider the benefits and limitations of genetic testing.

This case study follows the 2019 measles epidemic in Samoa to highlight how vaccination impacts disease spread.

In this activity, wildfires and how much area they burn serve as a phenomenon to guide student inquiry, which includes evaluating data and developing scientific claims.

In this Click & Learn, students explore the process of digestion and how it connects to metabolism and cellular respiration. 

This interactive module can be used to model infectious disease spread in a population. It includes background on the SIR model and two simulators for modeling disease spread on different scales. 

This film begins with phenomena linked to climate change and then examines how Earth’s temperature is controlled, how we know it is changing, and how the current changes compare to those over the last 800,000 years.

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.

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.
