We are also learning about communities.  The students added to above slide & quote that was inspired by their coral reef learning to that project!

Here are some facts we learned about the coral reefs from the videos:

* Coral reefs are old.

* The biggest coral reef is in Australia.

* They are like communities.

* They are like a rainforest underwater because there are many creatures.

* They grow about 1 inch every year. 

* Coral reefs have many fish living in them.

* Coral reefs are an underwater city.

* They have to be in warm, shallow water.

* If the coral reefs die, they can grow again.

* They are coral reefs in many places.

* Some corals can be soft.

* Some fish use the coral reef to protect them from predators. 

* It can get up to 75 degrees or more in a coral reef.

* The United States has a coral reef near Florida and Hawaii.
