While teaching about endangered species, you can incorporate this activity as a take-home reminder of what is threatening the sea turtle population. It is one of those paper plate projects in which a wedge is cut out to reveal a picture below. The paper plate can be turned on order to view the other pictures. In this case, the drawings depict four sources of turtle trouble. What makes the project so endearing is that you attach a head, legs, and a tail to the paper plate wheel to turn it into a turtle!
