Pray that you are not the prey of sharks! The class watches a video and a webcam on sharks and make observations about the different types of sharks. Learners compare two sharks and list their similarities and differences. They then match sharks with the types of teeth they have and what kinds of prey they eat before coming up with possible ways to protect the species.
