Rate of Coral Growth

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Using the provided table of information, middle school marine biologists chart data on a graph to determine the impact of water depth on coral growth in Australia's Great Barrier Reef. Then they answer questions that connect the data to sea level changes. It would make a strong component in a global warming or climate change unit. Add online visuals of coral reefs and islands to enhance this very numerically-oriented activity.
