Teachers are charged with increasing students’ scientific literacy, which involves interpreting evidence and making sense of patterns.

We describe an evolutionary ecology lesson focused on resource competition in a parasitic wasp. Students use datasets to generate graphs and test hypotheses on resource competition and fitness.
