Tracking Turtles
The World Wildlife Fund has a cool website tracking migrating leatherback sea turtles. Eleven turtles have been tagged with transmitters that monitor their locations, as well as depth, temperature, and other data. For a science program, it is a really interesting way for kids to see real-life research unfolding on a daily basis. It is also, unfortunately, a look into why animals such as these are endangered. One of the original turtles has already been killed, apparently snared in a gill net.
