Blue The Film: Action for Change
This unit cover topics such as plastic waste, by-catch and overfishing, and litter. Students use real-world data and statistical analysis to understand the issues and plan and implement projects to create change. The film serves as a call to action to conserve our oceans and protect marine life.
Blue The Film: Lessons for Ocean Advocacy
This unit uses film clips to inspire lessons on ocean issues like plastic pollution, unsustainable fishing, marine reserves, and threats to marine life, including turtles and shearwaters.
Seal the Loop: Exploring Marine Conservation
This unit engages students in inquiry-based activities on marine conservation, exploring pollution’s causes and effects, conducting waste decomposition experiments, and collaborating on conservation ideas to foster critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and a deeper appreciation of ocean ecosystems.
