Living in the Ocean
Leatherback sea turtles migration patterns The Satellite Tags & Turtle Tracking Satellite tags are anchored to the top of the turtles’ carapace (shell) by an adhesive that will biodegrade with time and not harm the turtle. The tag will last for approximately one to two years before the batteries wear out. The tag has a saltwater switch to turn it on and off. While the turtle is underwater, the switch is turned off and the satellite tag does not transmit the turtle’s position. When the turtle surfaces to breathe, the tag will come out of the water and the switch will turn the tag on and transmit its location to a satellite in space. This positional data will then be plotted on a map to show the turtle’s progress and provide a historical record of its route. Education guide |

Ocean Motion Project Monterey project submission
Rubric
Part 1: Survey the audience you will teach about ocean circulation, pollution and it's affect on marine animals.
Surveys-Distribution & Data Analysis Water Conservation/Energy Conservation/Trash Reduction/Proper Waste Disposal
4/13 10 min. Lifeline-Read this article and summarize it.
Part 2: Background information: Understanding Types of Ocean Motion and How Pollution Changes it.
Finish Toxic Pollution PPT/Note guides
Homework check: Using classroom posters. Teams with all homework turned in continue to work on and finish-up marine animal posters.
Part 3a & b: How do animal adaptations allow them to travel in their migration routes across the ocean.
4/14 & 15 15-20 min. Read about your animal's adaptations that have allowed it to migrate and survive and travel long distances. Write a paragraph describing three main adaptations of your animal and how they help it live, move and survive in the ocean. Submit here.
Part 4: Pollution Focus & Solutions
Google slide presentations-Ocean Circulation/Migration Route/Animal Adaptations/Pollution Focus & Solutions/PSA-How Students Make Change
4/15 Decide what day next week your team will be ready to present to your focus group & schedule this with the teacher.
Follow-up with a post-survey.

Newton's First LawAn object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
|
Newton's Second Law__________ = (a) of a body is directly proportional to the net force applied (Fnet), and inversely proportional to the mass(m).
