In this exciting four-week course, students will dive deep into the world of coral reefs. Week 1 | Coral, their life cycles, and dependency on algae Week 2 | Types of corals (hard, soft, and deep sea) and reefs (atoll, patch, fringing, and barrier) Week 3 | Symbiotic relationships in the reefs (including clownfish, anemones, cleaner wrasses, spider crabs, and isopods) Week 4 | Reef animals, threats to reef ecosystems, and conservation efforts __________________________________________________________________________________ Each lesson includes a 15-30 minute pre-recorded video on the scheduled topics will be posted for students to watch. In addition, supplemental videos, homework assignments, tasks, fun activities, and discussion questions will be posted. Students who diligently complete the assignments and tasks will get the most out of the course. If you are taking this as a home-school course, please message me to discuss assessment (letter/percentage grades, etc). Please note that this class does have some overlap with my one-time course "Wildlife Tour of the Great Barrier Reef". About half of one week's work overlaps with that class. If students have taken that course, I am happy to give a $5 discount to make up for this.
