Information
Description
What It Is:
This is a printable graphic organizer worksheet designed for students to research an invasive species. The worksheet prompts students to identify the invasive species, its region of origin, how it arrived, its role in the local ecosystem, harmful effects, positive effects (if any), possible solutions, and to list their sources. It encourages research on animals, plants, or fungi and stresses the importance of citing sources.
Grade Level Suitability:
This worksheet is suitable for grades 6-10. The research and analysis required, along with the need for source citation, make it appropriate for middle and high school students. The topic of invasive species is often covered in science and environmental studies curricula at these grade levels.
Why Use It:
This worksheet helps students organize their research on invasive species in a structured manner. It promotes critical thinking by requiring students to analyze the effects of invasive species, both positive and negative, and to consider potential solutions. It also reinforces research skills and the importance of citing sources, crucial for academic integrity.
How to Use It:
Students should first select an invasive species in their region. They then conduct research using multiple sources to gather information on the prompts provided in the graphic organizer. Students fill in each section with relevant details, ensuring they cite their sources accurately in the 'My sources' section.
Target Users:
This worksheet is ideal for science teachers, environmental science educators, and students studying ecology, biology, or environmental science. It is also beneficial for students learning about research methods and source citation.
