VIDEO 1
1. A polyp looks like an upside down jelly fish and is formed after coral larvae attract algae. The polyp then multiplies, forming coral.
2. Coral are sensitive to temperature change.
3. The coral becomes stressed due to temperature change and the coral loses its main source of food and color. It can happen when the sea stays warm for too long.
4. It's happening more and more often due to climate change.
5. We reduce our impact by saving energy, avoiding emissions, and reusing and recycling.

1. Home to 1500 species of fish, 360 species of hard coral, 1/3 of the worlds soft corals, 22 species of sea birds, and 32 species of shore birds.
2. Climate change is warming our oceans.
3. It pollutes the reef. Fish move to cooler, off-shore waters. This causes less food for sea birds.
4. To reduce climate change we can use public transportation/walk, buy environmentally friendly products, open windows instead of using A/C.

1. Benefits of using this way to teach this information is that it is very simple and teaches people about the coral and what they need. It gives good information and is very simple for younger viewers. However, this type of teaching may be too childish for an older crowd and they may find it hard to watch. Although it gives good information, it may be too childish and older people might not believe it.
