Three free lesson plans for science teachers who wish to incorporate real-life connections and an international focus into their classroom.
INVASIVE SPECIES
Invasive species present a serious threat to an ecosystem; increased awareness and creative interventions need to be implemented to preserve threatened native species. Students will investigate a foreign region and assess the threat of an invasive species. These lesson plans can be altered to any region of the world, based on the interest of the target student population.

GENOME SEQUENCING
Following the mapping of the human genome, a number of ethical concerns surround the release of gene data from specific cultures and individuals. This free classroom resource will provide students with the opportunity to explore these ethical issues, and encourage them to support their opinion with evidence as well as fully considering the opposing point of view.
