Sustainability and the future of our oceans are pressing issues for the next generation, and this 45-60 minute lesson for Years 7 to 10 is the perfect opportunity for students to dive into the world of sustainable seafood. The Australian Christmas tradition of eating prawns is a great starting point for discussion, as students consider the risks that overfishing poses to future seafood supplies. This lesson will engage students in hands-on learning as they conduct an anatomical dissection of a prawn and calculate the cost of a sustainable Christmas seafood lunch.
But this lesson goes beyond just discussing the facts. Students will also have the opportunity to tap into their creative side as they explore creative writing techniques to reflect on the future of seafood.
