Little Earth School (60)/Proposal

Proposal
http://mode.lanl.k12.nm.us/get_proposal1112.php?team_id=60

We are investigating endangered sea turtles. We are interested in saving them. We will model them laying eggs and getting back to the ocean, and we will also model the babies hatching and getting back to the ocean. The predators that might get the turtles on the way are: crabs, dogs, sea birds, raccoons and others. Also, if the beach where they usually nest is polluted, then they can't nest.

We are going to use StarLogo to simulate this. The agents are going to represent eggs, baby turtles, adult turtles, predators, trash and other human impacts.

The result of our model will help us understand how to save sea turtles.
