Turtles - Information, a story and questions for learners
<html>
<h3>What carries its home on its back, and can pull their head and legs into it if they want to sleep or are in danger? A tortoise? A turtle? &nbsp;Are they not the same thing? &nbsp;</h3>
<h3>Wait now I am confused. &nbsp;</h3>
<p>Lets gather some information and learn more about the turtle (Teenage mutant ninja turtles hahaha). &nbsp;</p>
<blockquote><strong>Turtle</strong> vs. <strong>Tortoise</strong>. <strong>Tortoises</strong> and <strong>turtles</strong> are both reptiles from the order of Testudines, but in different classification families. The major <strong>difference between </strong>the two <strong>is</strong> that <strong>tortoises</strong> dwell on land, while <strong>turtles </strong>live <strong>in the</strong> water some or nearly all of the time&nbsp;</blockquote>
<h3>You can read more about it <a href="https://www.diffen.com/difference/Tortoise_vs_Turtle">here.</a></h3>

<p>A turtle spend most of its time in water and it is a reptile. &nbsp;Like all reptiles they are coldblooded. &nbsp;This means that their body temperature will change as the temperature around them change. &nbsp;They have adapted to survive in very cold water and are able to survive in different ways. &nbsp;</p>
<h3>Read more <a href="http://www.thesuperfins.com/how-do-turtles-survive-through-winter/">here</a> on how they do it.</h3>
<p>Just like the tortoise, the turtle also has a shell, much lighter than the tortoise's shell, for them to swim easier, but also very hard and are like a shield that can protect the soft body.</p>
<p>The turtle has an upper shell called the 'carapace' and also a lower shell called the 'plastron'. &nbsp;Not all of the turtle species can pull their heads into their shells when attacked</p>
<p>Turtles are actually dinosaurs, because the were around on earth already 215 million years ago.</p>
<p>The largest turtle that we know of is the leatherback sea turtle. &nbsp;All female sea turtles go out on land dig a hole &nbsp;and lay their eggs. &nbsp;When the babies hatch, they have to fend for themselves and find their way to the ocean. &nbsp;Many get stuck in the plants, or walk the wrong way and die because of the hot sun or get eaten by birds or other predators. &nbsp;Luckily the female lays a lot of &nbsp;eggs and some of the babies do make it to the ocean to grow up.</p>
<p>A sea turtle gets it water from the sea but they have special glands that remove the salt from the water.</p>
<h3>It is very important that we protect the turtles because many of the species are endangered. &nbsp;Plastic is a huge problem in our oceans and it harms a lot of turtles and other sea live.</h3>
<ul>
  <li><strong>Do research of the dangers of plastic for marine life.</strong></li>
  <li><strong>Think of ways you can use less plastic.</strong></li>
  <li><strong>Why do sea turtles eat the plastic?</strong></li>
  <li><strong>Watch the video and answer the questions.</strong></li>
</ul>

<ol>
  <li>How long have sea turtles been around?</li>
  <li>Explain the life cycle of a sea turtle.</li>
  <li>Why would you say that sea turtles are strong since they survive so many odds that are against them? &nbsp;What things can happen to them?</li>
  <li>In your own words re-tell what you have learned from this video.</li>
  <li>Make your own summary or a information pamphlet.</li>
