Abstract	This high school life science unit introduces students to the intersection of science, economics, geography, and culture through the current practices of palm oil cultivation in the tropics. For this article, the authors travelled to Sabah Province, Malaysia, to visit palm oil plantations, conduct interviews, and collect resources to help students better understand how this industry affects biodiversity in tropical ecosystems and how students are connected to palm oil production as consumers through global supply chains.
