Coral 

Indigenous people teach us that coral reefs give gifts to plants, animals and people! What are those gifts? What gifts can we give back to coral reefs?  Students will use scientific skills to explore real coral specimens and role play with engaging costumes and a skit to understand the mutual relationships within the coral reef ecosystem.  A coral reef model will build on this understanding, encouraging students to visualize the problems that coral reefs are facing today. Students will consider how they use energy, and how they might change the way they use energy to help coral reefs stay healthy.  This is the gift we can all give back to coral reefs!
