Sometimes our kids grow like weeds. But in an invasive species activity, they have a chance to be a weed. After learning about what an invasive species is, and why they cause problems, take your class outside (or to the gym) and have...

Students explore the environment by identifying invasive species. In this ecosystem observation lesson plan, students identify the native species that exist in an exotic land such as Hawaii and the impact of invasive plants, insects and...

Fifth graders explore how invasive species affect the Great Lakes. In this science lesson plan, 5th graders research invasive species and create a food chain involving the invasive species. Students discuss how the environment is...

In this invasive species activity, 3rd graders complete a hands on science experiment.  students then record their observations and results.

Students collect terrestrial invertebrates using a home made pit fall-style trap. They discover that there are more invertebrates than they thought. Pupils classify the invertebrates. Students define what a terrestrial invertebrate...

Students create a WANTED poster about an invasive species to an ecosystem. In this invasive species lesson plan, students watch a video and research an invasive species and create the WANTED poster about it.

Learners identify invasive species to the Great Lakes and analyze their impact on the ecosystem. Using photo cards with pictures and facts, young scientists work in small groups to match invasive species with their corresponding...

Students read articles about invasive species and how they spread. In this invasive species lesson plan, students read 7 articles about invasive species and how to stop them.

If you are looking for a instructional activity about invasive species to ocean habitats, you have arrived! Introduce the concept to learners and have them read an article about marine invasive species. Vocabulary, relevant web links,...
