Alaska SeaLife center researchers need your help. Why is the endangered Steller sea lion population declining? Environment? Pollution? Diet? How do scientists learn what animals put into their bodies without watching them eat? They get the "scoop on poop." Students will use the scientific method to begin to answer some of these questions. By dissecting sea lion scat students will discover how scientists find clues to animal diet and foraging behavior. Students will determine the species, weight, and size of fish the sea lion has been feasting on. Join with an iPad: Download Webex Meet, Input Meeting ID 160 825 1424, Password: CN@home
