Marching In and Ocean Tracks

You know the saying about March coming in like a lamb and out like a lion or vice versa? Well how about March coming in like a whirlwind? That is how it has been since I returned from TCEA and TMEA. Quite a flurry of activity. I spent considerable amount of time when I came back preparing a video for our school's auction. Many, many hours were spent but it turned out great. Although, last minute, I get a phone call asking if I can change the size of the video because the projector resolution was not what I set the video up in. I knew that was going to happen! Should have done 2. Live and Learn.

Really cool site here for science teachers or anyone interested in tracking sharks. A fellow teacher shared this site and I spent far too much time looking at it. Ocean Tracks displays the tracks of selected marine animals tagged by CSIRO and their partners. Using interactive maps you are able to "follow" the path of one of many tagged animals. You can follow Tazzi the Tiger Shark or meet the scientists who are behind the tagging. I especially enjoyed the interactive "dive with this fish" that takes you into the water to "see" and follow it. Very cool! There are also postcards and tips for teachers to download and print for their classes. It is sites like this that make me wish I taught science.
