Local Teachers Travel to the Barrier Islands to Study Sea Turtle Ecology
The Hazelwood School District teachers worked with Steve Rick a coordinator at the Georgia Youth Science and Technology Centers.
Thirteen Hazelwood School District (HSD) teachers travelled to the Barrier Islands for a sea turtles ecology trip. The group was afforded the opportunity to learn about things they brought back with them to teach area students, through the Georgia Youth Science and Technology Centers.
The teachers flew into Savannah, GA this summer and then took a boat to Ossabaw Island. They worked in groups creating a model of a barrier island and its mainland, constructing a bird's nest and writing instructions on how to build it, and playing a predator/prey exercise, as well.
