Sea Turtle Presentation

A representative from the Sea Lab came to speak to our students the last week of school.  The fourth graders presented her a check for $500.  The students got to participate in an activity demonstrating the probability of a sea turtle egg actually hatching and then how long a young sea turtle might survive.  The students learned that only 1% of the eggs laid will actually mature into an adult sea turtle.
