Today's Classroom Activities :

Coral Reef Awareness

Teach your students the importance of protecting the Coral reefs during Coral Reef Awareness month. To get the facts about the undersea habitat, visit www.weeklyreader.com/coral. Have your students use that information to make a presentation explaining why protecting coral is important.

Students can learn about corals, coral reefs, and the Great Barrier Reef and then complete an experiment that demonstrates how coral polyps grow with this lesson from Education World.

See how satellite monitoring of the environment around coral reefs offers invaluable information to those working to preserve these unique ecosystems.
