Welcome

Hello Dolphin Explorer teachers and students,
This blog was created just for YOU as a way to communicate, talk about the lessons and ask questions. I hope you find it useful. I'll be posting blog challenges, updates and "breaking news" photos or videos during the Program.

Blog Challenge #1: Welcome to the Dolphin Project!

Hello Dolphin Explorers!

I hope you are enjoying week one of the program, especially seeing our newborns swimming and playing around!! My name is Kristen (I'm the one holding the camera) and I will be posting blog challenges for you to do either in school if your teachers allow computer access or at home with your parents to show them what you will be learning as well! This first one will help us get to know you and what you think about the marine environment, there are no wrong answers!

Have a fun time posting your response using the "comment" button below...


Blog Challenge #1:

What state do you live in?

What grade are you in?

Have you ever seen a wild dolphin before this Program?

What would you like to learn about dolphins or other marine animals?

Do you care about the environment including our oceans and keeping them clean and safe?

  1. I live in Florida.

    I have graduated from FGCU with my degree in Environmental Studies.

    I have seen wild dolphins when I was younger at the beach and going out on my dads boat! I've always loved them!

    I am always learning about the dolphins behavior, every sighting we record the data and can begin to see trends. I am interested in learning more about the moms and calves.

    I do care very much about the health of the environment for the safety of the animals living in it and us humans as well.

    Yes, I have seen a wild dolphin before this program

    I'd like to learn more about dolphins like how they give birth.

    I really do care about the environment. I think we should keep oceans clean for all the marine animals, not just the dolphins. And I'd hate to think a species of whales or dolphins go extinct.

    No, I have never seen a wild dolphin before this program; although I've seen trained dolphins several times.

    I would like to learn specifically how dolphins communicate with each other; not a theory.

    Yes, I care a lot about our environment and oceans. Polluted waters cause dolphins and other sea animals to die. It's cruel to kill animals when they've never done anything to us. I think it's very important for us to keep the environment clean and healthy.

  31. I live in New York. I am in 6th grade. No, I have never seen a wild dolphin before. What I would like to learn about them is how long the average dolphin can live up to, and how they sleep at night. Do they close their eyes when they sleep? I want to keep the environment clean, and I want to see the the sea and oceans blue and still clear in the future for the fish, and especially the dolphins.
