PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Of all the animals on our planet, none are likely under more threat from light pollution than sea turtles. Although they live in the ocean, babies hatch on land and they rely on the reflection of the moon and stars to find their way home to the water. When they are confused by streetlights and beach resorts, they can end up moving away from the water and find themselves in danger. All loggerhead sea turtle species are currently listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. In this unit, students sculpt a sea turtle scene to share the story of the turtles with their families, and then finish out the day creating an art piece that explores the effects of single use plastic on our oceans.
