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

In this Click & Learn, students explore mathematical models that describe how populations change over time and apply these models to the invasive lionfish population in the Bahamas. They also use data from other species to learn how density-dependent factors limit population size.

This interactive simulation allows students to explore two classic mathematical models that describe how populations change over time: the exponential and logistic growth models.

This interactive module explores biomes, climate, biodiversity, and human impacts around the globe and at different times.

This interactive module explores how different animals — elephants, birds, and bats — have evolved distinct ways of using sound to communicate.

This interactive module explores methods used to survey large animal populations, and what they have revealed about the current state of the African elephant population.

A number of questions are embedded within the short film The Making of the Fittest: The Birth and Death of Genes, which illustrates how gene duplications and mutations have led to remarkable physiological adaptations in Antarctic fish.

This interactive module explores the circulatory systems of major vertebrate groups to gain insights into their evolution.

This interactive timeline explores the history of Gorongosa National Park in Mozambique.

This tutorial describes three examples of recent human adaptations: lactose tolerance, sickle cell disease, and bitter taste perception.

This tutorial describes the symbiosis between the Hawaiian bobtail squid and bioluminescent bacteria.

This interactive, modular lab explores techniques for identifying and recording the electrical activities of neurons, using the leech as a model organism.
