Abstract
The purpose of this thesis was to create a lesson plan that teaches the importance of artificial coral reefs to high school students. There are no lesson plans designed to teach about artificial coral reefs to high school students that are publicly available for educators to use. To write a lesson plan about artificial coral reefs an extensive amount of background research was done. This included general information about corals and how they are impacted by climate change, analyzing existing artificial coral reefs, understanding the process of doing an artificial reef project from scratch, and analyzing lesson plans designed to teach about coral reefs. With all this information, a lesson plan was designed to teach the importance of artificial reefs to high school students. The lesson plan created includes information on why artificial coral reefs are important, presentation guidelines, and assessments for the instructors.
