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 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 inquiry-based activity, students engage in science practices to figure out why some people with a genetic condition that usually leads to sickle cell disease do not have disease symptoms.
 

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

This activity guides the analysis of a published scientific figure from a study that investigated how salt affects the electron transport chain.

This activity guides the analysis of a published scientific figure from a study that investigated how random mutations during cell division can contribute to cancer.

In this hands-on activity, students simulate the effects of decreasing pH caused by rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide.

This activity analyzes a figure showing the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration from 1958 to 2023.

This activity analyzes a published scientific figure from a study that tested whether corals can become more resistant to bleaching.

This activity allows students to use authentic scientific data to make claims about the threat of coral bleaching for reefs around the world.

This activity allows students to calculate their carbon footprint using an online calculator.

This activity explores the research presented in the short film The Making of the Fittest: The Birth and Death of Genes, which illustrates how gene duplications and mutations have allowed some fish to adapt to extreme environments.
