Science Project Grade 5 2014

 

For the Science Fair project you will work with a partner to complete a campaign awareness project on why it is important to protect the Nassau Grouper and why this is important for Cayman’s Coral Reef.

You will research and present a written report on the following questions –

What is a Nassau Grouper?

What is the role of the Nassau Grouper in maintaining a healthy, reef ecosystem?

What is a keystone species?

What is a spawning aggregation?

What is the role of the Nassau Grouper in the Cayman fishing community?

How do we protect the survival of the Nassau Grouper and the health of the reef, while meeting the needs of the fishing community?

You will also complete a poster and information booklet to advertise to people the importance of the Grouper and the Coral Reef in Cayman.

You could even complete a PSA or commercial to promote awareness!

 

The project is due on Monday 24^th February. You will then display your project in the school Science Fair on Thurs. 27^th February. Be ready to be able to answer questions about your report to the judges!

Have fun finding about the Nassau Grouper and our beautiful Coral Reef !
