So interesting to see how the storm activity has undercut Collaroy beach. Raises lots of questions about coastal management and mitigation related to sea level rise.

This lesson is written for Grades 3-5, but could be adapted for middle or high school students as well. If done correctly, it would make a great inquiry lesson.
