Students will utilize previously gained knowledge about the impact of land management practices on ecosystems to design, conduct and analyze an experiment to measure biodiversity and/or invertebrate ecosystem role in a field community. They will identify ecosystems that have been heavily and lightly impacted by human activities and make predictions about biodiversity in the area. They will then test and analyze the information gathered and apply what this means about the biodiversity in these ecosystems and the implications this may have on the region.

Many biotechnology applications rely on the DNA replication process. Through this lesson, students will better understand the DNA replication process and connect it to other biotechnology processes.
Material Type: Activity/Lab, Lesson
Gene mutations occur naturally through the DNA replication process with some results being fatal and others being helpful. This lesson will explore the types of mutations that occur, the effect they have on DNA, and examples of diseases or conditions caused by the specific type of mutation. Students will participate in a gallery walk to learn more about the types of mutations.
Material Type: Activity/Lab, Lesson
Many times, gene mutations lead to some sort of genetic disease or disorder. Through this lesson, students will explore a genetic disease, caused by a specific type of gene mutation (previously learned about) and present their findings to the class.

What is the difference between a food web, a food chain, and a food pyramid? This lesson discusses each of these and has the students create their own! Have students research wildlife in different states across the country: what they eat, where they sleep, and where they live.
Material Type: Activity/Lab, Lecture
Wildlife has been in the United States longer than any settler or Indian tribe. From buffalo in the west to the white-tailed deer in the east, wildlife has been in the environment for centuries. When the settlers landed in the United States they had to learn how to interact with the wildlife and use it to their advantage…without exploiting it. What did the wildlife look like when settlers first arrived in the U.S. and how has it evolved over time?
