This is the third lesson in a full unit (Biodiversity Science GCSE Coral Reefs) using the coral reef as a new context for applying concepts of biodiversity, human impacts and conservation. The ‘How can humans indirectly threaten coral reefs?’ lesson focuses on the indirect threats to coral reefs such as climate change. Climate change causes sea temperatures to increase, which subsequently causes coral bleaching to occur. Students will explore indirect threats through a range of experiments such as the activity Ocean Acidification in a cup. It is important in this lesson that students consider how the actions of people around the world are affecting the coral reefs located near Com.

Coral Oceans 14-16 Geography delivers a comprehensive understanding of coral reefs. Through the use of our exclusive galleries, videos and online resources, students will develop their knowledge and understanding of what coral reefs are, why they are important and how to protect them. The unit includes challenging lessons on abiotic components such as the nutrient cycle and biotic factors such as food chains. To experience the full impact of this scheme of work it can be taught in advance of our annual Coral Live event. Live lessons can be booked for free here: https://encounteredu.com/live

Two data case studies based on the Arctic with options to use ICT or offline versions. One case study on the link between carbon dioxide and ocean acidity and the other on sea ice thickness.

This full unit uses the coral reef as a case study for biodiversity and human impact topics for Science GCSE. It is a great way for students to apply learning to new contexts in preparation for exams. The unit makes use of multimedia content and science research, making it appropriate for students of all levels. Downloads include a full teacher book with student sheets and all resources for teaching, with a PowerPoint for each lesson. Lessons cover the following topics (with multimedia and further resources available from https://encounteredu.com/teachers/units/coral-oceans-science-14-16): Scales in an ecosystem and the importance of mutualism Direct human impacts on the coral reef (e.g. overfishing) Indirect human impacts on the coral reef (e.g. climate change) How scientists research the reef to identify areas in need of protection How reefs are protected and importance of habitat connectivity Decision-making exercise on coral reef protection and impact on local communities Students design their own marine protected area applying science concepts

This #GoogleExpeditions lesson develops student skills in data representation and the use of pictograms. Students start by using pictograms to represent the amount of fruit they have eaten and will eat. They then take a trip through a series of underwater vistas, recording the frequency of different types of sea creatures. They then apply their knowledge of data representation to create frequency pictograms. Google Expeditions are immersive 360 degree photo stories designed for use in the classroom.

This Frozen Oceans booklet outlines the research carried out by the Catlin Arctic Surveys between 2009 and 2011 and can be used in teaching the carbon cycle, ocean acidification and its impact on the Arctic ecosystem for Science GCSE. Two data activities have been prepared. The first uses a widely referenced longitudinal study on the relation between dissolved carbon dioxide in the ocean and ocean pH. The second uses data collected in the Arctic that looks at the potential impact of ocean acidification on the Arctic ecosystem. This resource also focuses on the work of real scientists, addressing much of the How Science Works content in GCSE Science specifications including learning from a field research programme, the use of data, the peer review process and how science and society are linked.
