Invasive Species Mini Inquiry Project

Your mini inquiry project for Invasive Species is due Friday morning.  You have today (both periods) only in your groups to construct your presentation (Prezi or Google Presentation) to show what you know in relation to the main idea.

Main idea: How has your species been able to arrive, thrive, and survive to become an invasive species?

Be sure to provide your sources in your presentations.  Include quoted evidence, and explain the quoted evidence in relation to arrival, survival, and/or "thrival".  Then, add pictures and videos to enhance your presentation!

Copy/paste the link to the presentation here or share your file through Google Drive with Miss Tesmer by Friday morning.
