Topic Guides - Math and Science

Specific key words or phrases are necessary to find information in databases or the library catalog. We recommend: 

• De-extinction
• Conservation biology
• Animal genetic engineering
• Wildlife reintroduction
• Biological extinction
• Extinct animals
• Mammoths
• Animal cloning

• You can use names of wild life and prehistoric eras as search terms in databases. 
• You can use these search terms to find books in the library catalog and eBooks or eAudiobooks in the eLibrary.
• To narrow your search, type two terms into a search bar in this format: "Term 1" AND "Term 2". This search will only provide resources that include both terms. Combine any two search terms from the box into a database search bar to see what you find. 
• Find more database search tips on the Debate Issues & Paper Topics guide, in the Database Search Tops box. 

This guide is connected to the following Colorado Academic Standards 

1. Ecosystems are dynamic in nature; their characteristics can vary over time. Disruptions to any physical or biological component of an ecosystem can lead to shifts in all of its populations.

2. Fossils are mineral replacements, preserved remains, or traces of organisms that lived in the past.

This guide will support students by building further knowledge in: 

1. Endangerment, extinction, and conservation efforts.

2. Different library resources –what they are and how they are useful for understanding reverse extinction.
