Invasive Exotic Species Lesson, Middle School Science Lesson from SlideSpark Science, How Invasive Species and Spread, Negative Impacts of Invasive Exotic Species

Two projects are included. The first project has the student report back to the class about an invasive exotic species that was presented in the slideshow. The students gather information in their work bundle and then create a short presentation. The second project has students research an invasive exotic species of their choice form a large list, and then create a WANTED poster. The students enjoy hanging the WANTED posters around the school at the end. The slideshows are engaging and interactive throughout. Everything can be uploaded to Google Classroom if you wish.

Areas of Focus within this PowerPoint
Exotic Species, Endemic, Exotic Species are spread by..., Impacts of evasive exotic species, Find the Eurasian Water Milfoil Game, Biological Controls, Creating a Wanted Poster, and much more.

15. Thousands of Eggs

16. Thousands of Eggs Each with the ability to lay thousands of eggs

17. Thousands of Eggs Each with the ability to lay thousands of eggs and damage an entire ecosystem

18. In 1955 a person wanted to bring all of the birds mentioned in Shakespeare’s books to the United States. He releases 40 pairs of Starlings into Central Park in New York City

19. Today, the Starlings number in millions.

20. Today, the Starlings number in millions. Damage to native ecosystems, carry diseases, and h ave created many more problems.

21. Activity Reading Ahead. I will discuss the way exotics are spread. Along the way you will see some readings / exotic species (6 reading links) Decide with your group (6 groups) which reading you would like. 1 st , 2 nd , 3 rd , Prepare a short presentation to the class. Who (exotic)?, What, Where, When, Why?

25. Local ballast water is pumped into empty cargo vessel

26. Local ballast water is pumped into empty cargo vessel  Boat travels across ocean.

27. Local ballast water is pumped into empty cargo vessel  Boat travels across ocean. The same ballast water is emptied in a new port releasing the exotic species.
