Coral Oceans Geo KS4: What are the threats to reefs?

This lesson will look at the threats to the coral reefs, using a variety of resources including videos, a gallery and a information Student Sheet.

This lesson will get students to start thinking about the scale of the threats to coral reefs and how we can all play a part, regardless of how far we live from the coral reef.

This lesson is from the Coral Oceans Geograpy 14-16 unit. You can access the unit here: https://encounteredu.com/teachers/units/coral-oceans-geography-14-16

The unit 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
