Week 3: 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.
  • Viviparous-give 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.

STEAM Week 4 –  Life cycle of a Sea 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 the green  turtle . I chose this turtle because  they are unique among sea turtles.

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.’
