-      A major goal of scientific research is to produce accurate estimates of animal populations. In this activity, students learn about a method for surveying wild populations of penguins in remote locations in Antartica. They have an opportunity to try out the method by counting colonies of stuffed animals using clickers. Each student counts an individual colony multiple times to produce as accurate of an estimate as possible, accounting for any possible errors they’ve made or penguins they didn’t see the first time around.

-      The monarch butterfly has been declining across North America for three decades. In this activity, participants learn about monarch butterfly biology and how math models can help understand the many threats to their population. Students examine how the monarch population may increase or decrease through a hands-on modeling experience, which allows users to adjust the amount of plant resources on the landscape, climate conditions, and other environmental variables. Watch the model results appear on your computer screen!
