EPISODE 12 VIDEO

In this episode of the World’s Most Exciting Classroom we’re live in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil:

– We’ll beam in live from a dive boat off the Ilhas Cagarras where we’ll have just finished our first scuba dive of the morning to monitor the sea turtles around the islands.

– Meet some of the conservationists working on the sea turtle and coral projects with Projeto Ilhas do Rio

– We’ll connect live with the Nicaraguan Sea Turtle Project from their hatchery on a beach in Nicaragua. If we’re luck, they’ll have a nest of baby sea turtles to release during the event.

– Catch an update of our tree planting efforts to create a corridor between 2 protected areas of the Atlantic Rainforest.

– Find out the results of our transpiration experiment.

– See this week’s experiment exploring bioluminescence in marine creatures.
