Teacher notes

Through the story of marine scientist Kerri, pupils explore how acts of responsibility and care can be quieter, more scientific or creative than they expect. Kerri’s work is a form of environmental stewardship that values observation, protection, and understanding before action. By analysing how Kerri uses sound to protect marine species, pupils are encouraged to consider the power of curiosity, empathy, and long-term thinking when caring for the Earth. **Learning objectives**: By the end of this lesson, pupils will: Understand how sound affects marine life and ecosystems.
