Invasive Species Case Study
by Eric Gonzalez-Payne

Water hyacinth, lantana, mimosa, giant African snail. Pick one and follow it properly.
The useful part is that responses conflict. Eradication is expensive and often fails, control is permanent work, and doing nothing has costs too. There is no clean answer and grade six should meet a problem without one.
The page has the research frame, an impacts table, a responses comparison and a recommendation. It also requires them to state what they would need to know to be more confident, which is a habit worth building early and one that separates a position from an opinion.
