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!

    Ms. Race,
    My name is Lori Barnes. I am Dawson Walker's Mimi. I have a friend who is an avid scuba diver. She has several pictures of sea turtles that she is willing to share with the class. I will receive them by email and I can forward them to you.
    She also told me about a few websites that might be interesting to the class.
    1.) www.seeturtles.org
    2.) www.turtlehospital.org
    3.) http://www.nps.gov/pais/naturescience/current-season.htm
    4.) http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/06/30/bp-oil-spill-sea-turtle-r_n_630527
    Hope you find this information useful.
