Creator:: Siemens, Tania
Abstract:: In this fun activity, students guess answers to clues about invasive species on a bingo-like game-board, and serves as a great introduction for students and teachers alike.

Creator:: Siemens, Tania
Abstract:: In Design the Ultimate Invader, students use their imagination to design the ultimate invasive species. This activity is a perfect way to launch a unit on invaders, and can serve as an assessment tool to help us learn the knowledge of our learners towards invasive species and invasion biology.
