Internet Scavenger Hunts: Science

This project studies animals that live in endangered ecosystems in the 
tropical forests of Mexico and Costa Rica and the wetlands of Brazil. While 
students are engaged in this project they will gain an understanding of how 
ecosystems sustain wildlife. They will also appreciate that these 
specialized environments support a diverse plant and animal population.
Endangered Ecosystems

This theme unit within Scholastic Explorers studies how human activities 
impact two specific ocean animals — sea turtles in Costa Rica and dolphins 
in New Zealand. In conjunction with the Earthwatch Institute, students will 
visit two field sites. The first is the Las Baulas National Park in Costa 
Rica. There, research teams are collecting data on the leatherback sea 
turtles that nest on the beach. The other site is the Kaikoura Peninsula in 
New Zealand. Researchers there are studying the behavior of dusky dolphins, 
especially around tourist boats.
