Students discuss stewardship actions and develop an action plan that they will carry out as a class. They host a “Friends of the Sea” party to involve the school and community in their stewardship efforts and to share the results of their investigations.
Students plan and carry out a survey of human impacts to a local aquatic environment. They analyze their findings and prepare to share them with the community.
Students research a current ocean-related issue in small groups, using resources to create informative posters. They participate in a viewing session, asking questions about other posters and sharing their findings.
Students discuss changes in fishing methods, then play a game to explore sustainable fishing. They simulate fishing with evolving technology across ocean areas, learning the consequences of overfishing and migration to meet needs.
Students explore the interconnections between the ocean, humans, and living things through a case study of harvesting bidarki in Port Graham and Nanwalek, reflecting on their personal connections to the ocean.
