About the Saving Our Coral Reefs template

A school science project laid out as a clear, friendly website. It walks through the question, the research, the prediction, the experiment and the results with a chart, then what the student would do next and their sources.

Saving Our Coral Reefs is a school science project laid out as a website instead of a poster board. It's written in a student's own voice and asks one clear question: how does warmer water affect coral? A step-by-step overview shows the whole project at a glance, then the background research explains what coral is, why reefs matter and what coral bleaching means, with a few surprising facts along the way. The fonts are chosen to be easy to read, which helps younger readers and anyone who finds dense text hard going.

The prediction gets its own short section, followed by how the experiment was run, with a list of materials and numbered steps: making a colour chart, setting up three water baths at different temperatures, keeping everything else the same, scoring the colour and doing a blind check. The results show that the hotter the water, the more colour the algae lost, with a chart and notes on what the student noticed. Was I right? compares the result with the prediction and is honest about the limits of the experiment. Next steps, sources and a form for visitors' questions round it off.

To adapt it for your own project, keep the structure and change the content: the question, the research, the method and the results. The headings follow the scientific method that most science fairs mark against, so it doubles as a checklist. Swap the chart for your own data and list your real sources. It works for any subject, from plant growth to magnets, and for class presentations, research projects and student portfolios. Teachers can also share it as an example of a clear project write-up.
