Invasive Species: What Can You Do?
by Scott Milne
In this lesson, students will discuss where invasive species come from and their impacts on the ecosystems in which they are found. In groups, students will research invasive species common in the Sonoran Desert and work together to create a public service announcement style presentation to communicate their information. As part of their presentation, students will design a management or mitigation strategy to address the invasive species that they researched. Groups will present their information to the class on the last day of the lesson.
