In this phenomenon-driven activity, students investigate how cells are signaled to make melanin and explain how mutations in melanin pathway proteins affect the coat color of various organisms.

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

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

This activity explores images of a coral bleaching event, which serve as phenomena for learning about marine ecosystems, human impacts, and climate change.

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 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 investigated how salt affects the electron transport chain.

This activity explores images of the bobtail squid, which serve as phenomena for learning about symbiosis and interspecies interactions.

This activity accompanies the video Seed Dispersal and Habitat Fragmentation. Students use data from published studies to understand patterns of seed dispersal and apply these ideas to the design of a conservation area.

This activity supports the film Popped Secret: The Mysterious Origin of Corn. Students analyze data on the expression of the tb1 gene to explain how variations in this gene played a role in the evolution of corn.
