C-MORE Science Kit – Marine Mystery

Grades 3-8

Students learn about the causes of coral reef destruction by assuming various character roles in this marine murder-mystery. As they determine who killed Seymour Coral, students learn the basics of DNA testing. Suspects include global warming, sedimentation, and other threats facing coral reefs today.

This activity is designed for 15 students, but can be modified for 12-24 students. A narrated PowerPoint that provides background information on coral reefs can be shared in advance in a separate lesson. The total class time for the PowerPoint, skit, and pre- and post-surveys is about 100 minutes.

California C-MORE Kit users: Please note that you can now check out C-MORE Kits directly from the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History.
