Grades k-5 "City Of Coral" Energy Flow In The Coral Reef Ecosystem

Coral Reefs are found in tropical water near the surface because they need energy from the sun to survive. The plants and algae there convert energy through photosynthesis.
Each small coral is made up of many coral organisms. The brown spots on the coral are their cells. The plant cells collect energy from the sun through photosynthesis.

This podcast was very informative and for me as a teacher i could use this in my classroom when i am teaching my students about different organisms and plant life in the ocean. By looking and listening at the podcast it can give the students a more in depth look at life int he water.
