During this time, you can distribute the resources to students and they can make any preparations needed before commencing the activity, such as cutting and sticking the coral life cards together. - Activity time (15 mins)
Jamie will begin assembling the food chain mobile and students can follow along in real-time. At this point, you can submit your students’ questions via the Live chat. - Q&A and conclusion (15 mins)
