Steam week 4 – life cycle of a turtle

During week 4 we looked at the life cycle of sea turtles. We chose a turtle to research from a choice of 7. I chose to do Different Turtles .I chose these  turtles because I couldn’t choose between the  Leatherback or the other turtles that we could have chosen.

 

I found out about its habitat, the stages of its life cycle, threats, conservation efforts and any other fun facts. 

 

We then created a fact file about the turtle.’

Week 3 steam -marine animal reproduction

In week three for STEAM we researched the different life cycle patterns observed in marine animals. We found that there are four main categories. 

Oviparous Producing young by means of eggs which are hatched after they have been laid by the parent.

 

ViviparousGive birth to live young.

 

Ovoviviparous – Once the egg hatches, it remains inside the mother for a period of time

Metamorphosis Change of physical form, structure, or substance
