What kind of troubles affect turtles? Learners create paper plate wheels to show four different hazards to sea turtles. Pupils color four segments of a picture to represent the overharvesting, changing beaches, pollution, and fishing that harm turtles. Individuals then use the pictures with paper plates to create a viewing wheel to highlight one hazard at a time.
