The material includes detailed background information and classroom-ready resources to facilitate inquiry-based learning.
Readers will find a structured approach to studying invasive species such as zebra mussels and purple loosestrife, alongside methods for monitoring these organisms through scientific protocols. The guide emphasizes interactive research, offering sample assessment tasks and rubrics to enhance the learning experience. With its interdisciplinary focus, this teacher’s guide serves as a valuable tool for educators aiming to engage students in the critical issues surrounding ecology and environmental science.
Official synopsis Publisher
Designed to help teachers conduct authentic and meaningful environmental classroom research, this material features interdisciplinary study covering the basic principles of the ecology of invasive or non-native speices. Students will discover the links among biology, ecology, and environmental studies — as well as the important connection between science and public policy. Studying invaders such as zebra mussels, chestnut blight, purple loosestrife, and Phragmites, students will explore how scientists are fighting these aggressors with biological controls. The teacher’s guide explains how to guide inquiry and conduct interactive research. Materials are classroom-ready and include detailed background information as well as sample assessment tasks and rubrics. The student edition has three sections: background on the science of ecology and its place in the control of invasive species; protocols for practicing methods that scientists use in monitoring invasive species, such as early detection surveys, plot sampling, transect surveys, and decomposition studies; and a series of worksheets to serve as a guide through the student’s own interactive research.
