Goddard M. Aliens in your neighborhood: A Teacher’s Guide to the National Park Service invasive weed curriculum
Aliens in your neighborhood provides a model for integrating a theme within a school's curriculum at the middle school level, as well as expanding it to multiple grade levels and subjects (math, language arts, social studies, art, etc.). This curriculum addresses national strategies (e.g.,preventing invasion, increasing public awareness, assisting wtih inventory and monitoring, conducting research, managing invasive plants) enabling students to become working partners with their National Parks System as Citizen Scientists. Throughout this curriculum guide, links are provided to give teachers and students addtional background information and resources for in-depth studies.
