Students explore whales’ migration, behaviors, and conservation through coding and research. They map whale routes, simulate journeys with robots, and design solutions to ocean threats. Cross-curricular links integrate geography, science, and computational thinking, fostering creativity and problem-solving. Extension activities deepen understanding of navigation and environmental challenges.
