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 anole lizards subjected to strong winds, which serve as phenomena for learning about natural selection and the impacts of extreme climate events.

This activity guides the analysis of a published scientific figure from a study that investigated how anole lizards may adapt to extremely cold temperatures.

This activity explores an image of tumor cells invading muscle tissue, which serves as a phenomenon for learning about cancer, mutations, and cell division.

This activity guides the analysis of a published scientific figure from a study that investigated how salt affects the electron transport chain.

This activity analyzes a published scientific figure from a study that investigated the role of p53 in cell cycle regulation.

This activity complements the video Virus Hunter: Monitoring Nipah Virus in Bat Populations. Students explore cases of Nipah virus infection, analyze evidence, and make calculations and predictions based on data.

This activity outlines two demonstrations that model how enveloped and nonenveloped viruses are released from infected cells.

This demonstration models the first step of the HIV life cycle: the binding of HIV envelope proteins to receptors on human helper T cells.

This activity allows students to model how the anti-HIV drug AZT (azidothymidine) interferes with the process of viral replication.

In this hands-on activity, students model how a double-stranded DNA copy of the HIV genome is integrated into the host cell DNA.
