In this activity, students use an interactive tool to simulate how scientists collected and used sample data to estimate elephant population sizes.

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

This interactive module can be used to model infectious disease spread in a population. It includes background on the SIR model and two simulators for modeling disease spread on different scales. 

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

This interactive module introduces the anatomy of the immune system and walks through the timeline of a typical immune response.

This web tool provides a quick and easy way of visualizing and analyzing data without advanced technological requirements.

This interactive module allows students to collect and analyze data from a virtual river to construct biomass and energy pyramids.

This interactive module explores the diversity of viruses based on structure, genome type, host range, transmission mechanism, replication cycles, and vaccine availability.

This interactive, modular lab explores the evolution of the anole lizards in the Caribbean through data collection and analysis.

This interactive, modular lab explores how stickleback fish and fossil specimens are used to study evolutionary processes, with an emphasis on data collection and analysis.

This tutorial introduces students to vector-borne disease with a focus on dengue fever, which is transmitted by mosquitoes. Students also learn about strategies designed to stop the spread of disease by interfering with the mosquito life cycle.

This tutorial explores the effects of West Nile virus infection on different organisms and describes how the virus has spread throughout the United States since 1999.
