1.1 Your Mission: Stop the Invasion

A. Intro Video

B. Take Action Project: Making A COMIC BOOK

Protecting all living and nonliving things in an ecosystem from invasive species is hard work. In this project, you will learn about creative ways people and organizations are working to help. Then you’ll write your own comic book to teach others about invasive species to help them take action.

C. Gathering Your Evidence

Being a Fact Finder

In this mission, you will learn all about:

  • What makes a healthy, balanced ecosystem.
  • What invasive species are and how they cause harm to ecosystems.
  • How invasive species are so successful in having such a big impact on ecosystems.
  • The creative ways people work to solve this problem, and how you can help.

You’ll play games, make models, watch videos, meet experts, and read. Every time you learn something new, you should write down important information in your Mission Log. Write down anything you think will help you with your final project.

 

Write your notes in the “Fact Finder” section at the start of your Mission Log.
