Inquiries in Science® Biology Series - Help your students understand hard-to-grasp science concepts. Using a learning cycle of engage, explore, explain, extend, and evaluate, each kit features lab activities designed to actively engage students in learning essential science concepts through guided inquiry. Topics addressed by the kits were organized and selected based on data from numerous sources, including the National Research Council's National Science Education Standards, AAAS's Project 2061 Science Benchmarks, NAEP's Science Framework, and state science education standards from across the US.

A Carolina Exclusive! Grades 9-12. Explore how energy moves through an ecosystem. Students analyze the contents of owl pellets and construct ecological pyramids to represent the data collected. After discussing their results, students are then challenged to apply their knowledge by constructing an ecological pyramid based on the foods they themselves eat.

• Analyze animal remains to determine food chains and energy flow
• Explore environmental impact based on students’ own food selections
• Create food pyramids based on individual student diets
