Coral Bleaching @ M.Y World Bidadari Alkaff Vista

The children from N2 Honesty were engaged in meaningful discussions using the online resource from S.E.A Aquarium. We focused on the topic of coral bleaching which is a consequence of high usage of electricity. Children identified ways to save electricity at home and in school.

Through a current issue, children learnt about the impacts on corals when coral bleaching occurs. Additionally, they watched a short video which depicts the physical changes when coral bleaching occurs. Children identified that the corals “explode” and lose their colour. Subsequently, children were engaged in an experiment which provided a concrete experience on the transformation of coloured water to colourless.

Thereafter, children explored lines on corals using the coorperative learning strategy - Carousel. They rotated around 4 stations which displayed different corals and created their versions using play dough and twigs to recreate the lines. Thereafter, children painted their corals.
