Sharks Under Threat | Explorers in the Field

From the Education Resource Library! Sharks often take on the role of the villain in pop culture, but they play a much more critical (and less scary) role in ocean ecosystems around the world. Like many species, these misunderstood predators are under constant threat due to human activities like fishing. Join conservationist and National Geographic Explorer Jess Cramp as she works to protect these amazing creatures and restore their reputation. Here are some activities for your students: K-5: Draw a picture or photo strip of something you learned. Grades 5-8: Write a short “news article” about what you learned. High School: Produce a short video that explains something you learned today. Share your students activities by @NatGeoEducation and using #ExplorerClassroom on Twitter. Our team will share your student work with the Explorer. We invite you to explore collections of activities that have been developed for educators, parents, and caregivers to implement with K-12 learners.
