Teach or review the life cycle of a turtle with this foldable sequencing activity. This fun and engaging alternative to a standard cut and paste worksheet covers 4 stages of a turtle's life cycle from egg to hatchling, juvenile, and adult sea turtle. Print the templates you need on letter-sized paper ready for students to color, cut, sequence the stages, glue, and fold. Once folded they can carefully bring the 2 halves together like an accordion, then pull apart to reveal the life cycle inside. Ideal for a science center, interactive notebook or to support classroom studies on life cycles, ocean/marine life, or turtles. Benefits of these activities: Low prep Children learn about life cycles in a fun and hands-on way, that’s a bit different from a standard science worksheet. Can be used to introduce the turtle life cycle, or as a review/assessment to check understanding. Encourages fine motor/scissor skills, hand-eye coordination (folding), and sequencing. Differentiated options allow for multiple age ranges or abilities to do the same activity. Finished foldouts can be inserted into an interactive notebook where they can be referenced by children. This resource is a 9 page PDF and includes: Black and white differentiated templates to copy (4 similar versions, including two for less confident cutters and one which doesn't require glue). Simple instructions. Guidelines for how to fold the turtle. A full-color diagram of a turtle’s life cycle to discuss together (display on a screen).
