Balancing Act: Tradeoffs in frogs, humans, and other animals
.png)
Students will follow in the soggy footsteps of scientists wading through ponds at night to record frogs as they learn about biological tradeoffs that connect humans to horses to frogs. Along the way, they'll decide which male a female frog should choose as a mate, based on analysis of call performance.
Alignment summary( Target)
Lessons: 2, 3
In Lesson 2, students learn about trade-offs and performance thresholds in biology. They use and interpret models to understand these concepts, which helps them predict biological outcomes, aligning with the standard. In Lesson 3, students use a spectrogram to analyze different sounds.

Community Immunity: A simulation-based exploration of vaccination choices
Using simulations and role play, students explore how knowledge, social influences, access, and policy all influence whether individuals vaccinate. They then see how vaccination rates of a community determine whether an outbreak turns into an epidemic or gets stopped in its tracks.
Alignment summary( Target)
Lesson 1
In Lesson 1, students revise the computer simulation model based on the evidence provided to them. They investigate what happens if different variables are changed.
Included resources
2 lessons and 1 supporting media item.
