Come find Data Nuggets today at NABT for a Special Workshop starting at 12:30! #NABT2025

Now up on our Resources page - The world runs on data, but too often, classrooms are not keeping up. Data Science Learning Progressions help educators build data skills into
learning experiences at every grade level. Explore the full framework at datasciencelearning.org

Did you know your students can make Data Nuggets, or that they can work with data collected by fellow students? Just search "student research" in our tables to find these activities!

Hope we got to chat with you at #SABER2025, and if not, Data Nuggets will be at SABER Midwest @nabtbio.bsky.social as well!!

If you’re at the SABER Annual Meeting, come find @datanuggets.bsky.social at our poster tomorrow! True to Data Nuggets, gotta love some null results :)

We’re so excited to be in Chicago this week to present Data Nuggets to a group of preservice, middle, and high school teachers! Thanks to Mike @mikegrillo.bsky.social and Lara at @loyolachicago.bsky.social for being such amazing hosts!

Our #NSF grant, supporting a fruitful collaboration with the @cissyballen.bsky.social Lab, was terminated, along with over 1,600 others. We describe the impact of this loss in a press release here. datanuggets.org/2025/06/nsf-...

Though our recent #NSF grant was terminated, the @datanuggets.bsky.social program still continues through support from the @kbslter.bsky.social and other sources! We're searching for future funding opportunities and will continue to help share authentic datasets and science stories with students!

If you are looking for ways to bring real research and data into your classroom, we have 140 free resources written by scientists who share their story and experiences in STEM! 🧪

Just like us, many animals have unique personalities! In grad school, Melissa studied young bluegill sunfish to see whether some were bolder than others and how this affected their growth and survival. #DNOTW datanuggets.org/2014/01/dang...

New DN! As drought increases with climate change, crops and their microbes are facing tough times. Jennifer is testing whether a carbon boost can help microbes thrive and support crops. Could this be the key to more drought-resistant farming? #DNOTW

New DN! Temps climb higher every year! This activity features Irvin’s Research Experience for Teacher’s project on heat variation in Miami based on shade coverage at bus stops. Evaluate how these data compare to the sensor used to issue heat warnings! #DNOTW

New DN! Need an attention-grabbing activity after holiday break? How about cannibalism AND disease ecology? Explore Kale's research to see whether climate change could increase caterpillar cannibalism and virus spread. #DNOTW

The salt marsh sparrow is one of few bird species that nest in salt marshes and completely depends on this habitat. Follow Roberts Buchsbaum's research as he tracks salt marsh sparrow populations and correlates his findings with sea level data. #DNOTW

New DN Alert! Emma studies how fruit flies process communication through sounds. Before testing her questions, she had to determine if the flies could hear and react to the sounds she played. Great opportunity for students to read about prepwork and planning! #DNOTW

New DN alert! Marine heatwaves are becoming more frequent off the CA coast. Explore how periods of increased temps could be affecting cold-blooded organisms like urchins and if acclimatization could help reduce stress. Available in 2 reading levels!
