• Linking questions connecting content across the option
• Activities & Assessments:
• 3-6 hands-on activities per unit:
• Sediment-budget diagram construction
• Wave-type prediction from fetch/wind data
• Longshore drift tracing and landform prediction
• Cave–arch–stack–stump sequence diagrams
• Storm surge/tide combined water level calculation
• Hard vs soft engineering strategy evaluation
• Ecosystem-services valuation table
• Threat-to-mechanism matching
• MPA ecological vs social outcome evaluation
• Ocean-circulation diagram construction
• ENSO mechanism diagrams (neutral, El Niño, La Niña)
• Feedback-loop diagram for ocean warming
• Formative assessments with exit tickets
• Summative test designs (MCQ, short answer, extended response)
• Worked examples with model answers
• Differentiation:
• Cross-Curricular:
• Resources
• Equipment lists for classroom activities and fieldwork

Key Features:
