In this activity, students investigate the phenomenon of lactase persistence by making sense of a series of data sets.

In this collaborative activity, students explore major biodiversity threats and design, present, and refine solutions for preserving biodiversity.

In this activity, students engage in key science practices that scientists used to figure out ecosystem dynamics in the Serengeti.

This activity explores images of elephants with and without tusks, which serve as phenomena for learning about selection and human impacts on the frequency of traits within populations.

In this activity, students evaluate a science news article to determine whether it is a trustworthy source of information.

In this activity, students find a scientist with whom they can relate in some way and then explore and reflect upon the impact of that scientist’s work.

In this hands-on activity, students build a paper model to explore how CRISPR-Cas9 is used to edit genes.

This activity guides the analysis of a published scientific figure from a study on how adversity in early life impacts the long-term survival of baboons.

This activity supports the film Popped Secret: The Mysterious Origin of Corn. Students analyze data on the expression of the tb1 gene to explain how variations in this gene played a role in the evolution of corn.

This activity guides the analysis of a published scientific figure from the world’s longest-running controlled artificial selection study, in which scientists tested whether they could use selective breeding to change the protein concentration of maize (corn).

This activity guides the analysis of a published scientific figure from a study that investigated whether there is a correlation between a population’s diet and copies of a certain gene.

In this activity, students further explore the short film Popped Secret: The Mysterious Origin of Corn, by working through the mathematical concepts behind George Beadle’s claim that teosinte is the wild ancestor of maize.
