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 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.
Getting students engaged in learning about the cell cycle can be difficult. In this Educator Voices article, educator Kathy Van Hoeck describes how she uses cancer as an anchoring phenomenon to spark student interest.
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.
This Click & Learn traces the flow of energy from the Sun all the way to cells within organisms. The embedded questions and calculations guide students’ understanding of how energy is distributed through a variety of ecosystems.
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.
