Welcome to the Ocean Conservation unit!

Nearly three-quarters of the earth is covered in water, and the oceans have all sorts of amazing ecosystems. But human actions, like using plastic and producing greenhouse gases, are endangering marine wildlife. This unit covers the impact humans have on the oceans and what we can do to help.

Find out what you can do to help marine ecosystems that are in danger

By:

Watching videos that explain different approaches and strategies for reading
Reading and answering questions about literary and informational texts
Learning new academic words

In order to answer the essential question: What are the challenges in preserving marine life?
