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 Click & Learn shows that keystone species exist across a variety of ecosystems and can exert their influence in different ways.

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 consists of a virtual Winogradsky column, which can be used to explore the diversity of microbes, microbial metabolic strategies, and geochemical gradients found in sediments.

This interactive module explores niche partitioning, a mechanism that enables similar species of animals to coexist.

This interactive module connects to an online citizen science platform for identifying animals in photos collected by trail cameras in Darién and Soberanía National Parks in Panama.

This interactive module explores examples of how changes in one species can affect species at other trophic levels and ultimately the entire ecosystem.

This interactive module allows students to investigate their own ecological questions using data collected by trail cameras in Gorongosa National Park in Mozambique.

A number of interactive questions are embedded within the short film The Making of the Fittest: Evolving Switches, Evolving Bodies, which illustrates how mutations in gene regulatory regions can result in the evolution of major anatomical features.

Several questions are embedded within the short film The Making of the Fittest: Got Lactase? The Co-evolution of Genes and Culture, which explores the genetics of lactase persistence and evolution of the trait in some human populations.
