Where have the fish gone?
Botanic Gardens Conservation International (BGCI) has created teaching activities based on climate change. Students discover how an invasive species (water hyacinth) has caused eutrophication and destroyed fish stocks. Students are given a series of cards containing information. Working in small groups, they are asked to sort out and use the information to make a story. From this, students are asked to come up with an explanation as to why there are no fish in the Akosombo Dam, Ghana. Sorting cards allows students to handle materials and for some students this is a useful way of introducing longer writing.
