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 case study follows a 2020 COVID-19 outbreak on a cruise ship to highlight how control measures like lockdown impact disease spread.

This case study follows the 2019 measles epidemic in Samoa to highlight how vaccination impacts disease spread.

This activity guides students through learning and using key scientific terms, culminating in the creation of a customizable diagram.
 

This activity provides three sets of cards that can be used to reflect on the nature and dimensions of science.
 

This activity explores the concepts and research presented in the short film Out of the Ashes: Dawn of the Age of Mammals, which explores how life on Earth recovered after a major asteroid impact.

This film explores how life recovered after an asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs and how those events shaped the diversity of plants and mammals on Earth today.

In this activity, students build a paper model of DNA and use their model to explore key structural features of the DNA double helix. This activity can be used to complement the short film The Double Helix.

This activity guides the analysis of a published scientific figure from a study that modeled the impact of an infectious fungal disease on a bat population.

This short video explores how the symbiotic relationship between certain plants and fungi allows these organisms to survive in very hot temperatures.

This short video explores the secrets behind termites’ power to digest an abundant source of food: wood.

In this activity, students use cards to build model food webs and evaluate how ecological disturbances affect each trophic level using information from the citizen science website WildCam Darién.
