This is the first 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 ‘Why is coral reef biodiversity important?’ lesson covers the importance of coral reefs, the so called ‘rain forests of the sea’, to a local community in Timor-Leste. Students develop their understanding of mutualism, biodiversity and how it is useful and important to us and the Earth as a whole. Multimedia content and other information can be found at: https://encounteredu.com/teachers/units/coral-oceans-science-14-16

This is the fourth 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 ‘Which coral reefs should we protect?’ lesson develops students knowledge and understanding of how to complete a transect, how to use this information to investigate the impact of abiotic factors on distribution and abundance of biodiversity on coral reefs.

This is the sixth 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 are members of the community affected by MPAs?’ lesson gets students to consider the impacts of biodiversity protection methods on different groups of people by watching a series of stakeholder videos, taking the form of a stakeholder debate. They will use the information from the videos to prepare arguments for a debate for or against the proposal for a new community MPA in Com.

This is the final assessment 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. Students to consolidate their learning from the previous lessons by having a debate about the impacts a new MPA would have on the various stakeholders in Com. Students will evaluate the effectiveness and appropriateness of two different MPA proposals.

This is the fifth 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 do we protect coral reefs?’ lesson develops students’ knowledge and understanding of the importance of surrounding environments to coral reefs. Students will start off by looking at the life cycle on coral reefs and the importance of mangrove forests and sea grass to the biodiversity of coral reefs. Following this students will learn what a Marine Protected Area (MPA) is and decide where they would locate the four different MPAs in Com.

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.

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.
