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.
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.
This activity guides the analysis of a published scientific figure from a study that explored inbreeding depression in a small, isolated population of wolves.
DNA is all around us — even in the air we breathe. Now scientists have found that air quality monitoring stations — which pull in air to test for pollution — also pick up lots of DNA that can reveal what plants and animals have been in the area.
Asking scientific questions is a foundational skill that takes instructional support for students to develop. In this article, Bernice Brythorne outlines how she uses BioInteractive resources to get her students to formulate and refine scientific questions.
This activity explores an image of a wildlife overpass crossing a major highway, which serves as a phenomenon for learning about habitat fragmentation and conservation.
Scientists are studying dogs around the Chernobyl nuclear power plant to see whether anything in their genes helped their families survive the harshest, most degraded environments.
Professor Melissa Haswell details a multiweek virtual model to develop basic scientific knowledge and skills using BioInteractive resources that culminates in an eight-week-long animal behavior research project.
A new study that analyzes data from more than 50,000 amateur stargazers finds that artificial lighting is making the night sky about 10% brighter each year.
