Blue - Human Impacts on the Ocean
Lesson2 of 7 in this unit
SecondaryYear 7 - 8ScienceEnvironmentalConservationOceansWater
Lesson Summary
This lesson incorporates clips from Blue The Film as learning inspiration. Students explore some of the ways humans have impacted on our ocean. They begin by sharing what they already know about the impacts of humans on marine ecosystems and species. Students then explore in more depth how humans impact oceans through waste and pollution, coastal development, overfishing and ocean change. Finally, students will work in groups to create their own guided discussion around additional clips from Blue, taking it in turns to then share their clips and guided discussions with the class.
