Did you know baby sea turtles wait until the sand is cool at night to make it to the ocean to avoid being seen by predators? Another fun fact is that baby sea turtles born in warmer temperatures become female sea turtles and turtles born in cooler temperatures become male sea turtles. It is so amazing that God created them with such unique qualities. They can even navigate back to where they were hatched to lay their eggs! Let’s study sea turtles, other aquatic herps with fun Sea Turtle Worksheets for Kids!
Apologia Science Review
The Sea Turtle Worksheets are made to accompany Apologia’s Exploring Creation with Zoology 2: Swimming Creatures of the Fifth Day. What we love about Apologia’s Explorer Series is the Biblical worldview. It is also a very thorough science curriculum that provides in-depth information. The book is written in a conversational tone, and you can read the text without much preparation. Honestly, I simply love no-prep curriculums because I don’t really have time to do much preparation.
Creationist Worldview Resources
Sadly, evolution has become facts rather than hypotheses on many well-publicized websites and is leading the new generation astray. As Christians, we ought to present both worldviews and let young leaders think critically and analyze what they will believe instead of being told as facts, just to realize that they were misled into atheism.
- Answers in Genesis
An apologetic ministry that helps Christians defend the faith and provide answers to key issues such as creation, evolution, science, and the age of the earth. - Debunking Evolution Series by Awesome Sci TV
Truly awesome resource on debunking evolution - Unlocking the Mysteries of Genesis
12-episode DVD series that explores scientific evidence that confirms the biblical account of creation
Sea Turtle Worksheets
I love reading Apologia Science to my kids. But somehow notebooking journals didn’t work out for our family. My kids wanted to answer questions from what they heard, and I also wanted to reinforce the materials that we just covered. If you are looking to support your learning from Apologia Science or support learning fun facts about sea turtles and other aquatic herps, I hope that the Sea Turtle Worksheets that I created can work for your family!
