This fun Web site is part of OLogy, where kids can collect virtual trading cards and create projects with them. Here, they take a close look at the interdependence of all living things in the Dzanga-Sangha. The site opens by introducing kids to BaAka, a young girl who will guide them through the site. In the Connect the Dots, an interactive game, kids learn how the people, animals, and plants depend on each other to thrive three in habitats: Forest, Bai, and River. In Visiting Dzanga-Sangha, kids get to meet six people who have visited the rainforest as part of their work: an ornithologist, artist, historian, video maker, anthropologist, and ethnomusicologist.

In this video, Jonathan travels to Holbox, Mexico in search of the massive whale sharkŰÓthe worldŰŞs largest fish. Reaching 50 feet long, these animals grow larger than a school bus, but they are completely harmless since they eat only plankton and small fish. Jonathan gets up close and personal to a mouth the size of a small car in his investigation to discover why so many whale sharks visit Holbox every summer. Please see the accompanying study guide for educational objectives and discussion points.

The information, activities and assessments included in these curriculum modules aim to tell a story. This storyline will help students learn the basics of how populations of bacteria become resistant to antibiotics, and how that knowledge can help make sense of the phenomenon presented. Students will learn that local conditions and actions can have a significant impact on global issues. The activities with which students will engage constitute a meaningful pathway to understanding and are not intended to be used in isolation. As you make plans for how these modules will be used, carefully consider the connections and interdependence of the activities, which make it difficult to separate the activities and is not advised.Each module consists of two or three activities. Each activity provides opportunities to develop and use specific elements of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) science and engineering skills and practice(s) to make sense of phenomena and/or to design solutions to problems. They also provide students with the chance to use conceptual understanding that spans scientific disciplines and develop deep understanding of core ideas and content.

So many of our flowers, fruit and vegetables need to be pollinated. Who are the pollinators and why is there so much buzz about helping bees? Check out the Bee Entomologist video to learn how the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla are researching and caring for the pollinators of their First Foods like huckleberries and cous roots. In the Discovery Challenge video, explore what insects and other invertebrates live in your yards and school yards. Then design, build and set out bee nests for native cavity nesting bees.
This lesson introduces NGSS standards, and those standards are listed in the lesson and is part of the Explore Science Club series, an online Career Connected Learning program developed by the Greater Oregon STEM Hub. To learn more find us at: www.go-stem.org.
