Alien Invaders: Invasive Species and the Threat to Biodiversity

This video explains the problem and its possible solutions through a compelling futuristic drama reminiscent of Hollywood science fiction and packed with solid scientific information. Viewers meet a time traveler from the eco-distressed distant future who returns to the present to find out what went wrong. Through her work with a young scientist, viewers learn how species invasions occur, about their impact and control, and how citizens at the local level can make a difference. A terrific aid for science teachers who want to bring this important and timely topic into the classroom. The accompanying study guide includes review questions, suggested activities, bibliographic and Internet resources, and vocabulary lists.
