The Learning Bear

This lesson involves one of the adaptations of the sea turtle: their caruncle! This is a problem-solving activity where students learn what a caruncle is and then design and create their own caruncle. Students test to see if it would be successful when hatching from a shell. Included is an easy worksheet for students to start thinking about tools and adaptations, an answer key, and some further instructions about the creation of a classroom shell to crack.

In this very interactive activity, students explore what it means to be a baby sea turtle and the wild ride from the ocean to the nest and back to the ocean. There are two worksheets included: one is a pre-post activity worksheet and the second is a math worksheet extension that is appropriate for the older students. See the product preview to view one of the worksheets.

This is a sea turtle-based lesson plan that not only teaches about sea turtles but also includes math, measuring, and discussion.
