All
children love turtles – watching them, feeding them, and looking for them in
the wild. So ... Kym wrote the Turtle Adventure! 2nd Edition to teach about turtle taxonomy, the difference between
reptiles and amphibians and turtle history. Is there a way to tell the age
of a turtle by its shell? What do they eat and how are they born?
Is a softshell turtle a mistake of nature? These
questions and more are answered, with Kym’s typical detailed lesson plans,
vocabulary list, websites, field trip ideas, resources and books, and fun
for all ages. The neatest part is the
Turtle Adventure! online virtual dissection included, covering opening a
turtle specimen’s shell and dissection. Use it to guide you through your own
dissection, or give credit for virtual dissection! Fascinating, fun and
informative! |
