Claim: Evidence: Do you think it is important to manage the introduction of invasive species? Why or why not? Claim: Evidence: Activity 3: Choosing a Target Species By the end of this activity I will be able to… MS LS 2-2 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Construct an explanation that predicts patterns of interactions among organisms across multiple ecosystems. Explain why it is important to know about the target species. Make a prediction about whether I will find the target species and how I think the abundance of that species will change over time. Use information that my team has gathered about the target species to support my prediction. Show my prediction on a graph and explain the reasoning behind my prediction using what I know about how species interact in ecosystems. Identify areas that I still need to know more about in order to feel more confident about my prediction. Key question: What are the invasive species in our area?
