Save Our Sharks

 Today we were fortunate to have a fantastic shark presentation by Ben and his mom.  They spent a year in Florida and while they were there they became aware of how endangered sharks were and what we can do to save them.  Our presentation started off during our lunchtime. We watched a presentation and video and learned lots of facts about sharks!

 

At the beginning of the presentation Ben's mom put the time on the board.  We weren't really sure why but at the end of the presentation we found out!  Our presentation was 58 minutes long ~ we then multiplied that by 60 to get the number of seconds it was (it was 3480 seconds long).  Then we multiplied that by 3 because there are 3 sharks killed every second in the world.  We found out that during our presentation there were 10, 440 sharks killed!  We were stunned!
