This video follows scientists working in Gorongosa National Park as they try to determine the genes responsible for tusk development in elephants.

This film explores the evolutionary connection between an infectious disease, malaria, and a genetic condition, sickle cell disease.

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

In this activity, students interpret several pedigrees of autosomal dominant and recessive conditions and consider the benefits and limitations of genetic testing.

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 interactive video explores how two scientists tracked the 2013 Ebola outbreak in West Africa. 

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

This interactive video explores how scientists identify which bat populations are infected with Nipah virus and could transmit the virus to humans.

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