Differentiation

• It may be helpful for some students to use the audio version of the article found at the bottom of the webpage.
• More advanced students can also read the full scientific paper, available on the webpage. Have them compare the level of detail, content, and language used in each to see if any information was left out or abbreviated in the adapted form.
  
• Although the videos add context to the paper, they are not required to understand the paper or to answer the questions included.
• Although not mentioned in the article, students must understand that the largest impact in solving climate change and protecting the whales would come from policy changes that would enact the solutions presented, which is discussed in the "What do Whales Eat?" video.
• This resource can also be used in marine science classes during lessons about the effects of climate change and other human activities on marine ecosystems.
