Unwanted Passengers - How do Invasive Species Spread?
90 minutes, level C1, 16+ years
A ship docks. A paddleboard changes lakes. An aquarium is emptied. What might travel with them?
Students investigate four fictional case files to uncover how aquatic organisms reach new environments. Using illustrated pathway cards and evidence records, they distinguish observations from assumptions, challenge misleading headlines and propose targeted prevention measures. The central challenge: a possible transport route is not proof of responsibility, and not every non-native species is invasive.
Available at B1–B2, B2–C1 and C1, with differentiated texts and tasks. Each edition includes student worksheets, cut-out cards, teacher guidance, suggested answers and assessment criteria.
