SecondaryYear 7 - 8MathematicsEnvironmentalBiodiversityConservationOceansWater
Lesson Summary
This lesson incorporates clips from Blue The Film as learning inspiration. Students will understand the importance of conserving our oceans by exploring the real world problem of by-catch and overfishing. They will mathematically investigate the problem and use data to plot graphs showing how by-catch is influencing the number of marine animals in our oceans. Students will then investigate ways in which the problem can be reduced and fishing practices can be changed-
Learning intentions
Students will:
- plot data on by-catch and investigate what might happen if fishing practices changed.
Success criteria
Students can:
- plot linear relationships using a table of values with real data
- use internet research to find relevant statistics
- understand the problem with by-catch and how it can be reduced.
