INVASIVE SPECIES SNC1D-Watts
What is the impact of humans on our environment?
Human actions have had huge impacts on our ecosystems. These
impacts and actions, have in some cases, led to the
endangerment and the extinction of species. In other cases these
actions have introduced non-native species to our ecosystems
causing detrimental effects.
Learning Goals:

I am describing the impact of one type of invasive species
of an ecosystem

I am using scientific terminology about ecosystems

I am finding information (some from class and some new research) to create a
new product (GLOGSTER).
Success Criteria:
Answer the following questions:
1. eWhat is the migration of the species (from which ecosystem [where it is
supposed to be] to ecosystem [to where it is now as an invasive species] and
how)? How did it get there?
2. eWhat is the path of its habitat from one ecosystem to another? Where has it
invaded?
3. eHow has the equilibrium of the ecosystem been set off balance or damaged?
4. eHow has the food chain been altered?
5. eHow does it affect the population of other organisms around it?
6. eHow does it fit into the predator/prey relationship (what does it eat AND/OR
what eats it)?
7. eWhat has been the impact on humans? AND/OR How are humans trying to
help with the problem?
