Cold Stun Survey
Scientists use graphs to help them visualize data and find trends. Did creating graphs give you a better understanding of the aquarium's stranding data?
Involves: Science (Biology) Math Technology

Head's Up
After completing this activity, would you agree that the loggerhead deserves its name?
Involves: Science (Biology) Math Technology

A Day in a Turtle's Life!
Each stage of life holds its own challenge for the loggerhead. Can you make a difference in the survival of this species?
Involves: Science (Biology) Geography

Research Team Badges
Creating badges helps identify and unify members of a team. After designing your own badge do you feel more connected to the Turtle Trails project?
Involves: Arts/theatr

Which Way's Up?
Emergence is just one step in a long line of obstacles that sea turtle hatchlings must face. Now do you understand how working together can make this process more successful?
Involves: Science (Biology) Arts/theatr

Migration Mania
You now know some ways in which loggerheads and humans can use the earth's magnetic field. What other animals do you know that use internal compasses for navigation?
Involves: Science (Biology) Geography


Upcoming Teacher Workshops

All activities were created to introduce students to information about loggerhead sea turtles. The activities were developed for grades 6 through 12 with an emphasis on making them interdisciplinary. Some activities focus on math and science skills while others focus on the arts and the student's imaginations.

All activities have been correlated to the North Carolina Standard Course of Study so that teachers and other educators can easily find activities to enhance their lessons. The standards met are listed on the left-hand side of each activity description.
