This is a page contains instructions for activities teachers of biology or environmental science can do with their students to get them to think about and better understand concepts of evolution and ecology that have molded biodiversity as it currently exists on our planet. If you have an activity that you would like to share, please contact us and we can add it to the page.

Rescuing Animals from ObscurityThis is a term project that can be used while teaching introductory biology to introduce students to animals that are typically left out of their general education and use these animals as a focal point for understanding adaptations, inter-species interactions, and how humans are impacting ecosystems. (by Rick Martin) |
Ecosystem DynamicsThis is a laboratory exercise that can be done in the classroom or by distance education that uses biodiversity within a deciduous forest ecosystem as a model for students to build energy flow, carbon cycle and food web diagrams and then use these diagrams as a basis for decision making about what human activities should be allowed there.

Threats to BiodiversityThis is a laboratory exercise that can be done in the classroom or by distance education that has students collect data from the IUCN Red List database and use the data to help understand what physical and ecosystem variables put a species at higher risk of or protect them from becoming endangered.
