How do you measure up?

We finished up our unit on sea turtles today with a behind the scenes tour of the sea turtle hospital at the South Carolina Aquarium. That's one good thing about living near the coast. We have been able to witness the release of several rehabilitated turtles at the beach on Isle of Palms. Today we got to see them in the hospital.

I'll share more pictures later, but for now we just got home so here is one. I love how we can size up in comparison to the 4 turtle species that are found off our coast. Last week we drew the leatherback in chalk in the driveway to scale so we could see how huge they are, but I really like how this picture illustrates it!
