ABOUT THE SHOW
Grades 5-12
The perfect way to spend Earth Day with your students! Dive into the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef with Dr. Erika Woolsey! Once a year, this famous reef transforms into a magical snow globe as millions of coral polyps release the next generation into the water. But beneath this stunning display lies a harsh truth: the reef is under threat. Climate change has caused widespread coral bleaching, but there's still hope! Join Dr. Woolsey to explore some of the most bizarre and colorful creatures that call this underwater world home.
