Description |
All children love turtles –
watching them, feeding them, and looking for them in the wild. So ... Kym
wrote the
Turtles!
Unit to teach about
turtle taxonomy, the difference between reptiles and amphibians and turtle
history.
Is there a way to tell the age of a turtle by its shell? And how long do
they live? What do they eat and how are they born? I’ve heard of
hibernation, but what is estivation? Is a
softshell turtle an
mistake of nature? And can all turtles swim in the ocean? With a passion for
turtles, what type of career could I have? What do I need to know before I
buy a turtle for a pet? And what about turtle anatomy?
Just how are they put together?
These questions and more are answered, with
Kym’s typical detailed lesson plans, vocabulary list, websites, field trip
ideas, resources and books, and fun for all ages.The neatest part is the
Turtles CD included, covering opening a turtle
specimen’s shell and dissection. Use it to guide you through your own
dissection, or give credit for virtual dissection! Fascinating, fun and
informative!
Since there was so much information for the
required FunSheetsTM,
Kym split it into two age levels: Younger (Pre-K-4th) and Older (4th-adult).
While they both include some pages the same (Turtle Report, Plant or Animal,
Anatomy, Sea Turtles), the presentation is different.
