Notice any changes in the health of the corals and the algae. When you observe these
changes, consider how they influence the surrounding marine life as well.

2. Build System Map
The algae inside corals play a crucial role in their health. The symbiotic relationship between
the coral and algae is essential for their survival. When bleaching occurs, the corals lose this
relationship, and their ability to survive declines.

List the important elements that should be included in your system map. Some potential
elements might be:
• Coral Reefs • Water Temperature
• Pollution • Storms

• Algae • Marine Life

The steps to draw a system map are as follows:
Step 1: Visit the website: https://ncase.me/loopy/ OR scan the QR code.

Step 2: Move down in the web page and click on the MAKE A MODEL FROM SCRATCH
button.
A LOOPY v1.1 page appears.

Step 3: Click the Pencil Tool on the canvas to add new nodes (elements). Label each node
with the name of the component you want to represent.
Step 4: Draw relationships (arrows) between the nodes by clicking and dragging arrows

from one node to another.
Step 5: Label each arrow to indicate the type of relationship. For example: Positive (+) and
Negative (–).

Step 6: Create positive feedback loops or negative feedback loops based on these
relationships.
