Step 1 - Inquire: Students watch a video outlining invasive species and write a summary outlining their new knowledge.
Step 2 - Investigate: Students play a digital game and a hands-on game to understand how invasive species can outcompete native species in their environments.
Step 3 - Inspire: Students use guided questions to conduct research about an invasive species in their community and create a presentation to spread awareness.
