Jellyfish

This week we are studying all about the life of jellyfish. We have found that jellyfish are quite the interesting animal...they actually have no brain and no heart! WOW! Who would have guessed that an animal living out in the deep blue sea has no brain! So here is what we are wondering...

1. How do jellyfish live if they don't have a heart?
2. Can a jellyfish still sting you if it is not alive?
3. How does a jellyfish breathe?
4. Can jellyfish survive on land and water?
5. Why have do jellyfish have tentacles?

We would love for you to help us answer these questions. Also, if you have any pictures or videos please email to Ms. Race at amber.race@doverschools.net

Sea Turtles

This week we are learning all about different types of sea turtles and their habitats. We have discovered that sea turtles are very fascinating animals! Did you know that sea turtles can travel the ocean for 20 years in the current and then make their way back to the same beach they were born on to lay their eggs?! How cool is that!!! We are hoping for a little help from you...

1. How do sea turtles meet each other? 

2. What is the smallest type of sea turtle?

3. How do sea turtles sleep?

4. Why do momma sea turtles leave their eggs?

We are hoping you will be able to share with us some of these answers and possibly some more cool facts. We are looking for neat websites to look into and pictures to share with others! Thanks for you help!
