Education Curricula and Activities Ripple Effects
Ripple Effects

Coming Soon!
Ripple Effects is a collection of 6-12 grade activities that introduce students to aquatic invasive species in the Great Lakes. Through this curriculum, students can engage in research, reporting, and role-playing games and activities to learn why these non-native species threaten native ones, how they came to the region, and their impact on Great Lakes ecosystem dynamics. These eight activities align to both the Next Generation Science Standards and the Great Lakes Literacy Principles.
