Invasive speices

This learning resource focuses on invasive species and their impact on ecosystems. Students will engage in an inquiry-based approach to investigate the ecological effects of invasive species, analyze their interactions within ecosystems, and develop evidence-based management strategies. The objective is to understand what makes a species invasive and how such species can reshape natural environments. Through guided inquiry, students will formulate questions, gather evidence, analyze impacts, and propose solutions, while reflecting on their learning and considering both local and global ecological principles. They will also explore contrasting roles of native and invasive species, collect evidence using the Claim-Evidence-Reasoning framework, and reflect on the implications of their findings.
