Pappo, Emily; Wilson, Chris; Flory, S. Luke – American Biology Teacher, 2022
Anthropogenic climate change is an urgent and pervasive challenge, yet it remains a polarizing subject. In the United States, studies have shown that rural communities tend to view climate change with less urgency than urban communities, which could delay action in response to the crisis. In rural areas that are highly dependent on agricultural…

Grether, Gregory F. – American Biology Teacher, 2021
Evolution by natural selection is key to understanding life and of considerable practical importance in public health, medicine, biotechnology, and agriculture. "The Next Generation Science Standards" (NGSS) include natural selection among several evolutionary concepts that all third-graders should know. This article explores a novel…

Learning about heredity is important across the K-12 continuum. However, these ideas may be challenging for students. We examined third-grade students' ideas about heredity in the context of a new, six-week, model-based science unit that uses corn as a model organism to support students' ideas about heredity. We analyzed data collected during…

Describes an exercise that enlists students and teachers as local experts to predict the effect warmer temperatures will have on agro- and natural ecosystems with which they are familiar. Students will gain an understanding of the "greenhouse effect" and identify factors that determine which organisms occur naturally together. (PR)

Brewer, Carol A.; Beiswenger, Jane M. – American Biology Teacher, 1993
Describes exercises to examine the global carbon cycle. Students are asked to predict consequences of increased carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere and to suggest ways to mitigate problems associated with these higher levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide. A comparison modeling exercise examines some of the variables related to the success…
