Intruders in Paradise: A Teacher's Guide to Invasive Species
The first teaching guide to marine invasive species in Florida is now available from the Tampa Bay Estuary Program.
Designed for middle-school students, "Intruders in Paradise" contains 12 classroom activities, website references, a master vocabulary list, 29 Fact Sheets about individual invasive plants and animals, and additional resources - all as downloadable web-based files. Activities are aligned with both FCAT learning benchmarks and Sunshine State curriculum standards for grades 6-8.
The "Intruders in Paradise" guide was developed by The Florida Aquarium with assistance and funding from the Tampa Bay Estuary Program, Florida Sea Grant and the UF/IFAS Cooperative Extension Service.
