This lesson will lay a framework for students to better understand the differentiation between predators and prey by comparing physical characteristics. This will not only help familiarize students with anatomical characteristics, it will give a greater sense of the predator prey relationship.

In Segment 1, we will explore the Aurelia app. Students will make their first iterations of predator and prey. 

In segment 2, we will explore characteristics unique to predators and prey. 

In segment 3, recreate the fish from segment 1 in an effort to show improved understanding of their designs.

Objectives

  • In Segment 1, get comfortable with the app and test the level of their pre-existing knowledge.
  • In Segment 2, students will be able to understand features unique to predators and with reasoning.
  • In Segment 3, revamp designs from the first segment in order to improve and learn from previous iterations of their design.

Technologies Involved

  • Tablet or Smartphone

Aurelia

Transform your classroom into an underwater education center with Aurelia, the Augmented Reality app that teaches students about biology, chemistry and the environment. Once inside the experience, students can explore aquatic ecosystems and create their own fish to add to the environments. In doing so, they’ll employ design thinking, creativity, and inclusive community building. 

To best guide your students in the classroom, please be sure to view the Onboarding Document below, and download the Aurelia Teacher's app for yourself:
