MangroveWatch - Problem Solving and Communicating
Lesson5 of 6 in this unit
SecondaryYear 9 - 12ScienceBiologyEnvironmentalBiodiversityCitizen Science
Lesson Summary
Students communicate their MangroveWatch findings based on primary and secondary evidence. Their interpretation of data and critical evaluation of the evidence-gathering process is used to formulate conclusions and suggestions for ecological actions to conserve mangroves and salt marshes. Students work through a scaffold for creating a scientific report for a specific purpose to complete this sixth and final lesson.
Learning intentions
Students will:
- understand how to create a scientific report to communicate their understanding of the causes and effects of variables influencing the ecological stability and conservation of mangroves and salt marsh.
Success criteria
Students can:
- use a visual aid in the form of a cause and effect diagram to analyse threatening processes to the ecological stability of mangrove ecosystems
- describe adaptations of mangrove and salt marsh species
- make informed predictions about the influence of coastal squeeze
- applies knowledge to suggest conservation management and/or further research
- presents a logical, and accurate scientific report
- effective use of digital, visual, written and oral communication.
