Synopsis

In this lesson, students learn how cultural practices can spread not only ideas and traditions, but also invasive species into new areas.

Inquire: Students watch a video outlining invasive species and write a summary outlining their new knowledge.
Investigate: Students play a digital game and a hands-on game to understand how invasive species can outcompete native species in their environments.

Inspire: Students use guided questions to conduct research about an invasive species in their community and create a presentation to spread awareness.
