Description
Summary:We propose an inquiry-based science activity under the theme of climate change effects on ocean ecosystem. This activity, can be explored not only to improve acquisition of knowledge on climate change effects but also to promote inquiry skills, such as, researching and reading, selecting relevant information, identifying a problem, focusing on a research question, making predictions, planning experiments, observing and registering data, drawing conclusions, developing explanations and communicating findings to class. The activities are suitable for 8 to 13 year old students and can be in the classroom.
