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

This activity explores images of planarians regenerating missing body parts, which serve as phenomena for learning about cell division and differentiation.

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 chalk formations and coccolithophores, which serve as phenomena for learning about the interactions between biological and geological processes.

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 reinforces concepts presented in the short film The Making of a Theory. Using a map of the Malay Archipelago and information about the animals found on different islands, students discover the Wallace Line: a sharp boundary that separates distinct Asian and Australian fauna.

This activity guides students through building a conceptual model of how carbon dioxide affects Earth’s climate.

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