‘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 sea turtle. I chose this turtle because they looked the best.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.’
In week there 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 of substance.
