In 6th grade science we have been focusing on invasive species and the effects they have on their new ecosystem. This week, students began a project where they chose an invasive species to study. With their partner or partners, students had to research the species native land, where and how they invaded, a physical description of the species, why the species is a threat to their new ecosystem and to the native populations in that ecosystem, and how it continues to spread today. Students will finish up their projects the beginning of next week. Stay tuned to see pictures of their final posters and make sure to ask your kid(s) about the invasive species they chose to study!

Have a great weekend!
