Amanda Briody describes two BioInteractive resources focused on Gorongosa National Park in Mozambique. She uses the short film The Guide to introduce students to the park and its scientists. The Gorongosa Interactive Timeline then allows her to ask data-based questions on the park's history and ecology, and to have her students make evidence-based claims.
