Students experience the excitement of watching live-streaming video of wild bears on Brooks River in Katmai National Park, Alaska, in order to explore science concepts in the real world. These three lessons, designed for grades 3–5, offer students the opportunity to engage in activities that focus in particular on the inheritance and variation of brown bear traits.

Public attention was captured in May 2018 when the Hawaiian volcano Kīlauea erupted with rivers of lava that flowed through Leilani Estates and other nearby neighborhoods. Your students may have seen videos of hot lava covering roads, destroying homes, or reaching the ocean with clouds of hot steam. You can capitalize on their interest by using data from this real-world event.
In these middle school lessons, students take on the role of volcanologists in order to analyze geologic data about the May 2018 eruption of Kīlauea and provide recommendations for mitigating its harmful effects.

PHYSICAL SCIENCE Have you ever wondered why there are so many kinds of chocolate? This experiment explores the history behind chocolate and involves some yummy tasting as you develop a deeper understanding behind the different types of this sweet treat.
ABOUT THE SCIENCE In 2011, the world's largest chocolate bar weighed 5792 kg. (12,770 lbs.), which would have taken over five million average sized cacao beans to make. Your regular chocolate bar would need about 46 of the same sized beans. The main ingredient of cocoa (chocolate) is roasted cacao beans. Yes, these are spelled differently! The cacao is the name of the bean that produces cocoa. The beans come from the cacao trees that grow in tropical climates. There are three main varieties of the tree: • The Forestero tree is the one most often used for chocolate production around the world. In fact, over 90% of the world’s chocolate comes from this kind of tree. • The Criollo tree produces a milder, fancy chocolate and is considered a delicacy. The fact that it does not produce as much as the Forestero and is more inclined to disease, make it less popular for production. • The Trinitario tree is a hybrid between Forestero and Criollo. That means they have the best characteristics of both plants, making it higher quality than the Forestero, but more resilient than the Criollo. At the plantations, the cacao beans are fermented and dried and then packaged for shipping around the world. Now, on to the chocolate making! Roasting is the done to bring out the aroma and flavor. Then the cacao beans are cracked and emptied, leaving only the pulp and the seeds or nibs. The nibs are then taken and crushed into a thick paste called chocolate liquor. Sugar and other ingredients are added to the paste to sweeten it up and then it is run through a series of rollers to get the texture right. After being rolled out, the mixture goes into another machine that mixes, mashes, swirls and adds air to the chocolate. This machine is called a conch and the mixing done at this stage can last anywhere from a few hours to days depending on the quality of chocolate being produced. The next step is tempering the chocolate, making the color and texture shiny and consistent. After being tempered it is poured into a mold and allowed to set. It is then packaged and eventually makes its way into your tummy.

Students explore the chemical identities of polymeric materials frequently used in their everyday lives. They learn how chemical composition affects the physical properties of the materials that they encounter and use frequently, as well as how cross-linking affects the properties of polymeric materials.

In this activity, students examine the first line of evidence, galactic motion, for the notion of an expanding universe. By examining the spectrum of light from a galaxy, students can determine whether a galaxy is moving toward or away from us, and how fast. Students will look at optical images of four galaxies, compare the emission spectra from these same four galaxies, and measure the wavelength of the red hydrogen line for each galaxy. This activity is part of the "Cosmic Questions" educator's guide developed to support the Cosmic Questions exhibit. This activity can be used in conjunction with, or independently of, the exhibit.

These templates/charts allow evidence to be tracked for learning outcomes in the form of "I CAN" statements. Teachers (or students) can also provide concrete evidence that the learning outcome has been met. Lastly, there is also a column for comment/reflection in the template.

Hank gets real with us in a discussion of evolution - it's a thing, not a debate. Gene distribution changes over time, across successive generations, to give rise to diversity at every level of biological organization.

What could you possibly have in common with a mushroom, or a dinosaur, or even a bacterium? More than you might think. In this Lab, you’ll puzzle out the evolutionary relationships linking together a spectacular array of species. Explore the tree of life and get a front row seat to what some have called the greatest show on Earth. That show is evolution.

TED Studies, created in collaboration with Wiley, are curated video collections 逖 supplemented by rich educational materials 逖 for students, educators and self-guided learners. in What Makes Us Human?, TED speakers tackle humanity逭s oldest and deepest questions by playing with primates, excavating ancient remains, and DNA-mapping family trees. Explore how the next chapters of our own evolutionary story will be written thanks to new technologies that trace our origin.迨

Hank introduces us to the relatively new field of evolutionary developmental biology, which compares the developmental processes of different organisms to determine their ancestral relationship, and to discover how those processes evolved. Also fruit flies with eyes on their legs and chickens with teeth!

In the first video segment, we analyze the population dynamics for a test-tube of cells that affect each others' likelihoods of replication when they collide. The particular example we use is a prisoner's dilemma, which has the almost paradoxical property that survival of the relatively most fit leads overall fitness to decrease. In the second video segment, we suggest that the population dynamics from the first segment can be related to an analysis that uses payoff matrices found in traditional game theory.

Using newts, coyotes and mice, Jason Munshi-South shows how animals develop genetic differences in evolution, even within an urban city. A quiz, thought provoking question, and links for further study are provided to create a lesson around the 5-minute video. Educators may use the platform to easily "Flip" or create their own lesson for use with their students of any age or level.

A hypothetical scenario is introduced in which the class is asked to apply their understanding of the forces that drive natural selection to prepare a proposal along with an environmental consulting company to help clean up an area near their school that is contaminated with trichloroethylene (TCE). Students use the Avida-ED software application to test hypotheses for evolving (engineering) a strain of bacteria that can biodegrade TCE, resulting in a non-hazardous clean-up solution. Conduct this design challenge activity after completion of the introduction to digital evolution activity, Studying Evolution with Digital Organisms.
