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

In this activity, students engage in key science practices that scientists used to figure out ecosystem dynamics in the Serengeti.

In this activity, students evaluate a science news article to determine whether it is a trustworthy source of information.

In this activity, students find a scientist with whom they can relate in some way and then explore and reflect upon the impact of that scientist’s work.

This activity guides the analysis of a published scientific figure from a study that investigated genetic factors contributing to skin color differences, particularly within African populations.

This activity guides the analysis of a published scientific figure from a study on how adversity in early life impacts the long-term survival of baboons.

This activity guides the analysis of a published scientific figure from a study that used SNP genotyping to identify the mutations that result in morphological differences in stickleback fish.
