TRY having students present their final report, describe the investigation, and receive feedback from classmates.

Prompt each group, one at time, to present their final report being sure to address the overall problem:

• Which activities (if any) around the coral reefs of Kailua Bay should be restricted to insure their lasting protection?
• What was your role?
• How did you go about investigating this question (what steps did you take)?
• How did your role impact your conclusion and recommendation?
• What did you learn during the process?

Teacher Note

When each group presents their reports, you may want to use a court-like atmosphere where each group of kids presents their findings in the context of their assigned role. Each group (role), would be given a certain amount of time to present their interpretations to the class, and after their presentation there would be some time allocated for the other groups (roles) to rebut.

Review each project and solicit feedback from the class.

Summarize the lesson by making A final conclusion to be submitted to Congress (Optional activity).
