Objective

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to read and comprehend information about jellyfish, identify the most deadly jellyfish, understand its origin and migration patterns, recognize symptoms of a jellyfish sting, differentiate between true remedies and myths, and create a 3D model of a jellyfish using materials found at home.

Materials and Prep

• Computer or tablet with internet access
• Pen and paper
• Scissors
• Glue or tape
• Various craft materials (optional, based on student's idea for 3D model)

Activities

1. Read about jellyfish and their characteristics.

Using the provided online English lesson in Education Perfect, read the assigned text about jellyfish. Take notes on important information, such as their physical features, behavior, and habitat.

2. Research the most deadly jellyfish and its origin.
