Week 5 compare and contrast
On week 5 we did compare and contrast about whales and turtles. It was mostly easy and we just wrote what was different and what was the same about the two sea animals.
‘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 Flat back Turtle. I chose this turtle because I liked the look of it.
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 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
