The following lesson is an introduction to the ideas and implications of animal tracking Animal tracking is a useful method used within science and commercial industries For instance when planning the development coastal areas animal presence and movement should be taken into consideration The lesson engages students in an activity to monitor animal foraging behavior on a spatial scale The students will break into groups and track each other’s movements as they move through a predetermined course The results will be recorded both individually and collaboratively in an attempt to understand animal movement regarding foraging behavior Students will also engage in a creative design activity focusing on how they would design a tag for a marine animal of their choice In conclusion instructors will query the class on data interpretation and how spatial information is important in relation to commercial conservation and scientific research decisions
