In order to make iMapInvasives as easy to use for your students as possible, they are only Level 3 users. This means that you, the teacher, are the only one that will be able to log treatments. If you have done a control treatment in addition to your other treatment, you will need to create two treatment polygons. You can choose to have students involved in this process, however they will need to request level 6 user profiles. To do this, you will need to contact Nancy Olmstead and . Make sure you have completed the end of the iMapInvasives (modified) Mechanical Treatment Record (). Follow the instructions for treatment data entry that are outlined in . Have your iMapInvasives (modified) Mechanical Treatment Record in front of you so all the necessary information is at your fingertips. Part IV: Post-Treatment Follow-Up STUDENT ACTIVITY 1: iMap post-treatment observations and assessments In order to visualize how their patches have or have not changed over time, students will head back outside to measure/monitor how their plots have responded to their treatment. They will collect data in the same way they did with the initial observations and assessments and post to the iMapInvasives site. Learning Outcomes for Activity 1: Students will be able to… Make predictions, supported evidence, about how changes in a habitat affect local populations Collect accurate data, following student-created procedures Standards Alignment MLR CCSS NGSS B1 – The Skills and Traits of CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.SP.A.2: NGSS Practice 3: Planning Scientific Inquiry: Students Use data from a random sample and Carrying Out plan, conduct, analyze data to draw inferences about a Investigations from, and communicate population with an unknown results of investigations, characteristic of interest. including simple Generate multiple samples (or experiments. simulated samples) of the same size to gauge the variation in estimates or predictions.
