Food webs in the ocean
In this live lesson, students will explore a range of living things on the coral reef and how they are connected through feeding relationships.
Learning Outcomes
- Describe the feeding relationships in an ocean ecosystem
- Demonstrate the interdependence of organisms in an ecosystem
Preparation
If you have never joined a live lesson before, see the guidance hub, where you will find technical and educational support.
Live lessons work best when students have some prior knowledge and have prepared questions. You can select from any of the STEAM activities in the Coral Oceans collection or teach the one-off Coral Live prep lesson.
This lesson is based around the Coral food web activity and if your students are following live, you will need to gather these activity resources in advance.
Questions generated by your class can be submitted via the Encounter Live tab in your Encounter Edu profile.
Session outline
1. Introduction (5 mins)
Jamie will open the session with a welcome and brief introduction to the expedition.
2. Subject knowledge (10 mins)
He will then introduce some of the types of life that can be found on the coral reef and discuss how they are related through predator-prey relationships. During this time, you can distribute the resources to students and they can make any preparations needed before commencing the activity.
3. Activity time (15 mins)
Jamie will begin assembling the food web and students can follow along in real-time. At this point, you can submit your students’ questions via the Live chat.
4. Q&A (15 mins)
After completing the activity, Jamie will be able to answer pre-submitted questions and take part in the live chat. At the end of the broadcast, Jamie will suggest some other activities you might like to try and what's coming up in the rest of Coral Live 2021.
