<p>Most children (and adults!) are naturally fascinated by sharks, either through sheer awe and wonder or by misguided fear. So, it’s no surprise that we can engage kids with sharks to learn a whole range of curriculum topics, without them even realising!</p>
<p>Ocean Life Education has developed a range of FREE online <a href="https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/shark-resources/">shark teaching resources</a> and an <a href="https://oceanlifeeducation.thinkific.com/courses/amazingsharks">online shark course</a> to provide kids, schools and teachers with engaging ways to learn about sharks.</p>
<h4><strong>Why Are Kids Fascinated by Sharks?</strong></h4>
<div id="attachment_2507" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-2507" class="wp-image-2507 size-medium" title="shark anatomy" src="https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Shark-Anatomy-labelled-300x225.png" alt="shark anatomy and adaptation" width="300" height="225" srcset="https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Shark-Anatomy-labelled-300x225.png 300w, https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Shark-Anatomy-labelled-768x576.png 768w, https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Shark-Anatomy-labelled-624x468.png 624w, https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Shark-Anatomy-labelled.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /><p id="caption-attachment-2507" class="wp-caption-text">shark anatomy &#8211; amazing sharks online course</p></div>
<p>Unfortunately, kid’s interest in sharks is often fuelled by exaggerated media stories and scary films, but it’s sharks’ appearance, immense power and ability to hunt that really grab their attention.</p>
<p>Incredibly, sharks have been around for at least 450 million years (since before the dinosaurs). A major reason why sharks have outlasted so many other animals, and a key reason why we are so fascinated by sharks, is their incredible <strong>anatomy</strong>, which is <strong>adapted </strong>to hunt and to survive.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4><strong>Teaching Kids About Sharks Helps Protect Sharks and The Ocean</strong></h4>
<div id="attachment_2679" style="width: 244px" class="wp-caption alignright"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-2679" class="wp-image-2679 " title="sharks &amp; natural selection" src="https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/eating-fish-264x300.png" alt="sharks &amp; natural selection" width="234" height="266" srcset="https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/eating-fish-264x300.png 264w, https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/eating-fish.png 615w" sizes="(max-width: 234px) 100vw, 234px" /><p id="caption-attachment-2679" class="wp-caption-text">sharks &amp; natural selection</p></div>
<p>As <strong>APEX predators</strong>, sharks sit at the top of the <strong>food chain</strong> and help control the numbers of animals below them in the <strong>food </strong><strong>web</strong>, thus maintaining the balance of life in their <strong>marine habitat</strong>. By controlling populations of large and mid-sized predators, sharks allow smaller fish to thrive, ensuring healthy <strong>ecosystems</strong> with a diverse range of species and competitors. Take sharks out of the food chain and the whole structure could collapse.</p>
<p>As we depend on healthy oceans for around 70% of the air that we breath, as well as for a host of other things such as food to eat, it is in our interest to minimise <strong>human impact</strong> and protect animals that protect our ocean.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h4><strong>Curriculum Themes and Sharks</strong></h4>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-2695" src="https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/ocean-champions-300x266.jpg" alt="" width="317" height="281" srcset="https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/ocean-champions-300x266.jpg 300w, https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/ocean-champions.jpg 455w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px" />Through the fascinating topic of sharks, kids can learn a host of <strong>curriculum</strong> themes such as <strong>adaptation, habitats, human impact, food webs, natural selection and classification. </strong>Studying the curriculum, while being thoroughly engrossed in the subject matter, makes the process of learning all the more enjoyable and inspiring.</p>
<h4><strong>Learning Enrichment and Sharks</strong></h4>
<p>Often children who need extra support within learning enrichment respond really well to curriculum-based learning which is based around their own topic of interest. That’s where teaching &#8216;Sharks&#8217; can be a really useful tool to stimulate interest and hook children in.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
