Today's lesson focused on biodiversity, highlighting the species that make up the coral reef ecosystem. Jackson learned about biodiversity through a combination of my presentation, discussion, and an interactive model. I checked his understanding of the lesson by having him answer questions related to biodiversity. I also asked him to come up with a question on his own to further his understanding. He asked how coral reefs are formed. So, we discussed that to strengthen his understanding of coral reefs. Great class!
