Sea Turtle Life Cycle: Build

Overview:

Students cut and paste pieces to build the life cycle of a sea turtle. Suitable for early and middle years students.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the stages of a sea turtle’s life cycle.
• Develop fine motor skills through cutting and pasting.
• Recognize the cyclical nature of life cycles in animals.

How the Activity Works:

This hands-on activity involves cutting and pasting cone-shaped pieces to create a circular diagram of the sea turtle’s life cycle. Each piece represents a different stage, such as the egg, hatchling, juvenile, and adult. As students arrange the pieces in the correct order, they will visually construct the life cycle, helping reinforce their understanding of the process. This activity provides an interactive way to learn about sea turtle biology and encourages students to think critically about life cycles.
