I enjoyed seeing the sea lions, even though they weren't too happy with me taking video of them, and they are much better swimmers than me, my odds were not looking good. This can be science and social studies related because the sea lions have a huge impact on the salmon population right now, they are getting in the fish hatcheries and depleting the salmon. The "trouble maker" sea lions are captured and tagged for tracking purposes. One sea lion was brought down to the California coast and dropped off, but guess what, it made it back to Astoria, OR! That's a long swim. Kids love talking/researching animals, they can talk about geographic locations and human relationships with them.
