https://padlet.com/klarce/rv7vkpwfpcfqjf0j These are all the resouces I used to create my Coral Reefs unit. en-us 2022-04-27 21:09:43 UTC 2022-04-27 21:27:33 UTC hello@padlet.com klarce https://padlet.com/klarce/rv7vkpwfpcfqjf0j/wish/2161106650 The article talks about the things coral reefs do for the planet, how to tell if a coral reef is alive, stressed out or dead. It also talks about how animals are dependent on coral reefs, methods and how they are trying to help/how we can help and how damaging it would be if we lose it all. I think it's useful for my planning because it hits a lot of points I want to share with students along with resources I can provide them.]]> 2022-04-27 21:13:14 UTC https://padlet.com/klarce/rv7vkpwfpcfqjf0j/wish/2161106650 klarce https://padlet.com/klarce/rv7vkpwfpcfqjf0j/wish/2161108020 This source is a documentary I watched which follows a man around the world to see the coral reefs and experts explain to him how and why coral reefs are in danger. I think this source is important because I can see and learn about different coral and how scientists are trying to figure out why it is dying so fast.]]> 2022-04-27 21:14:03 UTC https://padlet.com/klarce/rv7vkpwfpcfqjf0j/wish/2161108020 klarce https://padlet.com/klarce/rv7vkpwfpcfqjf0j/wish/2161109509  In this book students learn about coral reefs ecosystems, the life that thrives there, its climate, its food web, any threats to it, and conservation efforts. This is going to be useful for the students because it shows a lot of illustrations that go with the words. ]]> 2022-04-27 21:15:50 UTC https://padlet.com/klarce/rv7vkpwfpcfqjf0j/wish/2161109509 klarce https://padlet.com/klarce/rv7vkpwfpcfqjf0j/wish/2161110387 This simulation allows the student to play around with the water temperature and pollution to see how it would affect coral reefs and its inhabitants. I believe it's useful because it allows the student to get to see how their actions affect the ocean, specifically the coral reef.  ]]> 2022-04-27 21:16:54 UTC https://padlet.com/klarce/rv7vkpwfpcfqjf0j/wish/2161110387 klarce https://padlet.com/klarce/rv7vkpwfpcfqjf0j/wish/2161111218 This video explains what corals are, how coral reefs are formed, how it takes them to be formed and how diverse their ecosystems are. This seems as an essential source so the student knows what we are actually learning about. ]]> 2022-04-27 21:17:41 UTC https://padlet.com/klarce/rv7vkpwfpcfqjf0j/wish/2161111218 klarce https://padlet.com/klarce/rv7vkpwfpcfqjf0j/wish/2161111841 The source focuses on what are coral reefs and the different parts to them. Students get to do skits and learn in a fun way. I picked this lesson because it has all the qualities of a good introduction lesson plan. I feel as in I can build from this. ]]> 2022-04-27 21:18:27 UTC https://padlet.com/klarce/rv7vkpwfpcfqjf0j/wish/2161111841 klarce https://padlet.com/klarce/rv7vkpwfpcfqjf0j/wish/2161112547 Students get to understand how their impacts and others in the world impact coral reefs no matter where you live. I thought this lesson was important because I want them to be able to make real life connections to be able to understand their impact even more. Human impact is such a big thing on why coral reefs are dying that it has to be mentioned.]]> 2022-04-27 21:19:09 UTC https://padlet.com/klarce/rv7vkpwfpcfqjf0j/wish/2161112547 klarce https://padlet.com/klarce/rv7vkpwfpcfqjf0j/wish/2161113200 This is one of the biggest organizations trying to save coral reefs. I will introduce it after the main lesson so they can discuss with their partners what they found intriguing about their organization. This will allow students to see how others are also helping and that they can help too.]]> 2022-04-27 21:19:43 UTC https://padlet.com/klarce/rv7vkpwfpcfqjf0j/wish/2161113200 klarce https://padlet.com/klarce/rv7vkpwfpcfqjf0j/wish/2161114193 This organization provides so many cool resources. They have presentations, they can visit schools, have activity packs that can be purchased and internships. If I could I would like to bring a speaker in because they are an experienced person my students can look up to. It would be really fun to go somewhere but that would be if I lived by the beach.]]> 2022-04-27 21:20:47 UTC https://padlet.com/klarce/rv7vkpwfpcfqjf0j/wish/2161114193 klarce https://padlet.com/klarce/rv7vkpwfpcfqjf0j/wish/2161119803 This showed different lesson plan ideas that could be used in different grades. It gave a lot of great ideas.]]> 2022-04-27 21:27:33 UTC https://padlet.com/klarce/rv7vkpwfpcfqjf0j/wish/2161119803
