Week 6: Turtles and Plant Update
This week I learned more about the life cycle of a turtle and the processes that turtles go through from egg to the ocean. The most interesting fact that I learned this week was that only 1 in 1,000 baby turtles actually make it to the ocean.
2. Are you able to relate what you learned to what you already know?
I can apply the work that we did this week to the NGSS framework, as this week was a very engaging lesson that uplifted some of the guiding NGSS principles. I would also say that learning about the life cycle this week continued our work from last week, and turtles are part of the marine biome, contributing to their food chain and ecosystem.
3. What remaining questions do you have?
One of my only remaining questions is this; Does human interference with sea turtles impact the ecosystem that they are a part of? If humans allow more turtles into the ecosystem, does that negatively impact the ecosystem they participate in?
I love all of your visuals you provided! I also like how you talked about the NGSS framework! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHi Elsa! I also was interested in the fact that only 1 in 1000 baby turtles make it to the ocean. I like the questions that you wrote and am also wondering what the answers are.
ReplyDeleteHi Elsa, I also thought that only 1 in 1000 turtles make it. I thought that was such a low number for survival.
