Under the Sea: Coral Reefs

You don’t need swimmers or a snorkel to explore the reef with us this National Sea Week! Share some of your favourite reef creatures and make a coral polyp to add to your own ‘reef’. Learn about some of the conditions corals need to survive, and what happens when those conditions change. Become an ocean engineer by testing different materials and thinking how they might be used to build tools for scientists to study the underwater environment. 

We’ll guide participants through experiments using simple materials, while collecting their hypotheses and ideas through interactive polls and Q&A functions. 

Teachers will receive a resource guide that outlines the key concepts covered in the webinar, as well as some simple classroom activities which can be completed live during the webinar and extended at a later date to support existing lesson plans. 

Our webinars have live-captioning available.
