This activity explores images of tree growth in the Serengeti over time, which serve as a phenomenon for learning about and modeling species interactions in ecosystems.

This video follows an international team of researchers as they collect data to map migratory bird populations in the US and Mexico.

In this activity, students learn about the factors that regulate the population sizes of wildebeest and buffalo in Serengeti National Park.

In this activity, students explore using CRISPR-Cas9 to knock out butterfly genes in order to determine their function.

In this video, ecologist Tony Sinclair takes us through the steps of how he uncovered that the eradication of an infectious disease in cattle led to a boom in the Serengeti’s buffalo and wildebeest numbers.

In this activity, students analyze aspects of a scientific paper that investigates genes involved in the colors and patterns of butterfly wings.

In this hands-on activity, students build a paper model to explore how CRISPR-Cas9 is used to edit genes.

This activity explores an image of a wildebeest herd on the Serengeti, which serves as a phenomenon for learning about population dynamics and wildlife management.

This activity guides the analysis of a published scientific figure from a study that investigated how herbivore populations are regulated in the Serengeti.

This film explores the foundational research in the Serengeti National Park, Tanzania, that uncovered many of the ecological principles that govern how animal populations and communities are regulated.

This activity builds on information presented in the short film Genes as Medicine. Students interpret actual pedigrees to determine the inheritance pattern of Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA), an inherited form of blindness. They also examine protein sequence data to explore mutations that can cause LCA.

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