Lesson Summary
Students explore the ways that we are connected to the ocean through the ways we need it. They begin by completing a prior knowledge activity to help them understand that we both need and impact the ocean. They then participate in a guided discussion around a clip from Take 3 For The Sea. This clip explores some of the details around how we need the ocean for a range of factors, including oxygen, food, rain, weather and climate. Students then develop a series of questions to help them guide an inquiry into the question ‘how do we need oceans?’
