Students will engage in a campus walk to identify and discuss the presence of invasive species, fostering empathy towards local ecosystems and gauging their current impact.

Students will define the core challenge invasive species present to the local ecosystem and articulate its significance by outlining the specific impacts of their chosen species through group discussions and initial research.

Students will brainstorm and collaborate in small groups to generate creative solutions and project ideas that address how invasive species impact the local ecosystem and what measures can be taken to minimize their effects, leveraging insights from their initial research.

Students will develop detailed project outlines and visualize their research findings with sketches or concept maps for their chosen invasive species, preparing them for peer feedback and revision.

Students will test their research findings against real-world scenarios by visiting areas around the campus to identify and analyze actual invasive species, thus engaging with hands-on data collection to assess the impact of their chosen species on the local ecosystem.

Students will engage in a structured critique session, giving and receiving feedback from peers to refine their research presentations on invasive species' impact before the final showcase.

Students will predict the impact of their earlier findings on the ecosystem by discussing how their researched invasive species could interact in a shared environment, followed by a reflective session where they assess learning outcomes and consider future steps for tackling invasive species issues.
