Coral Oceans Lesson 1 - Coral Explorer

This science-based unit uses the stunning imagery and 360 media from the XL Catlin Seaview Survey.

The unit can be used as a standalone primer for students, using a new and exciting context of corals, clown fish and sharks, or as a comparative study to the local environment.

Students work through a series of connected lessons to develop their understanding of:

- habitats and how they provide the basic needs of plants and animals 
- identification, classification and the use of keys 
- life cycles, anatomy and sexual reproduction 
- how animals obtain their food using the idea of food chains 
- how animals and plants are adapted to their environment 
- human impact on the environment
