National Standards English: NL-ENG.K-12.1 Social Science: NSS-G.K-12.5 Science: NS.K-4.3, NS.K-4.6 NOAA Ocean Literacy Principles 6-1-

2 The Heartbreak Turtle Today Activity Students will begin by completing the pre/post-activity assessment sheet. They will then listen to a story from The Heartbreak Turtle Today video followed by a discussion of various things that are safe and healthy for Kemp s Ridley turtles. The session will end with a musical chairs review activity. Introduction Safe/Unsafe Activity Sheet (Pre-Instruction Assessment) *This activity is an option if you would like to assess what the class knows about how to keep sea turtles safe prior to the lesson. Copy and hand out the Pre and Post Instruction Assessment Safe/Unsafe activity sheet. Begin by saying, Let s begin by working on an activity about Kemp s Ridley turtles! I d like you to color the picture of the turtle in the middle. Say, Now I would like for you to look at the pictures around the turtle in the middle of the page and think about which ones would make the turtles feel safe and which ones unsafe. Say, I would like for you to place circles around the items you think are safe and healthy for the Kemp s Ridley turtle. Place an X through the items you think are unsafe and unhealthy. Teachers may need to explain each picture using the background material found in the video they have previewed. Collect and keep all the activity sheets for later. Action Steps Begin a discussion of various things that are safe/healthy and unsafe/unhealthy for children. Group Prompts: What do you need to be safe and healthy? What can cause you to be unhealthy? Possible answers: Healthy food, clean water, shelter, medicine, exercise. Junk food, dirty water, colds, diseases. Read to students the pages from The Heartbreak Turtle Today video. -2-

3 The Heartbreak Turtle Today Group Discussion: Picture Cards On an easel or board label two areas: Safe/Healthy and Unsafe/Unhealthy. Using Picture Cards, hold up one picture at a time and ask the class which category it belongs under (see suggestions in the following table). Place the pictures under the appropriate category. Card PC 1 PC 2 PC 3 PC 4 PC 5 PC 6 PC 7 PC 8 Category Safe Safe Unsafe Unsafe Unsafe Safe Unsafe Safe Summary Summarize the lesson with the following activity. Musical Chairs Game Set up enough chairs to equal the number of students, minus one. Play music and turn it off at various points. (see resources for sea turtle related music) Instruct the students to walk around the chairs and that when the music stops to sit down. The student left standing has to say one thing about Kemp s Ridley turtles that they learned in the lesson. Do not remove more chairs, just repeat again. No one is out, all the students continue playing. Variation-instead of walking around the chairs, students remain seated and pass a stuffed turtle around while the music is playing. When the music stops, the student with the turtle has to say one thing they learned about Kemp s Ridley turtles that they learned in the lesson. Conclusion Display the Pillars of Character poster and briefly discuss each pillar. -3-

4 The Heartbreak Turtle Today Review and discuss what students could do to help the Kemp s Ridley and relate it to the Pillars of respect, responsibility, and kindness. Examples: Throw trash in a trash can so it does not pollute the beach and ocean where the turtles live and lay eggs (kindness), if they live near a beach and see a nesting turtle leave it alone (respect), if you live on or near the beach obey lights out (responsibility), report stranded/nesting turtles (responsibility). Safe/Unsafe Activity Sheet (Post-Instruction Assessment) *This activity is an option if you would like to assess what the class knows about how to keep sea turtles safe after the lesson. Distribute a second copy of the Safe/Unsafe Activity Sheet and instruct the class to complete it again. Suggested Additional Activities Service Learning Cut out the colored turtles from the activity sheet. Place them in a plastic baby pool. Make a sign reading something like Tens for Turtles or A King s Pence for Kemp s. Have students encourage other classmates and school workers to donate ten pennies or ten cents or ten dollars as a donation drive. Send the money to an organization that supports sea turtle conservation. Turtle Review Box Using the turtle review box like a dice, let each student roll. Have them name one thing from the lesson that fits in the category that lands face up on the box. Name-What is one name for the animal we have been learning about today? Turtle, sea turtle, Kemp s, Kemp s Ridley, Heartbreak turtle. Safe-Name one thing that the student can do to help keep the Kemp s Ridley turtle safe. Unsafe-Name one thing that is unsafe for the Kemp s Ridley turtle. Favorite-What was your favorite part of the story? Baby-Name one thing the student learned about baby Kemp s Ridley turtles. -4-

5 The Heartbreak Turtle Today Adult-Name one thing the student learned about adult Kemp s Ridley turtles. -5-

20 This is the remarkable story of the Kemp s Ridley sea turtle and the efforts to save this magnificent creature.

21 Sea turtles have been around since the time of the dinosaurs.

22 South Padre Island Rancho Nuevo The Kemp s Ridley turtle lays eggs at two main locations along the Gulf Coast. Rancho Nuevo in Mexico and South Padre Island in Texas.

23 Females can lay up to 150 eggs at one time. They can do this 3 or 4 times a year.

24 Baby turtles, called hatchlings, come up out of the nest and go towards the brightest area, the whitecaps of the surf.

25 Baby turtles face many dangers. Humans collect the eggs for food.

26 Hatchlings may be eaten by birds, raccoons, and crabs.

27 Nests or baby hatchlings may be run over by cars on the beach.

28 Adult Kemp s Ridley turtles face many dangers too.

29 Humans collect them to make things like.

30 shoes and clothing.

31 Adult turtles can be caught in fishing nets and drown.

32 Fishing hooks can get caught in their mouths. Here a turtle doctor tries to remove one.

33 Turtles can get caught in shrimp nets.

34 Oil spills can make the water they live in dirty.

35 Oil covers their bodies and poisons them.

36 Adult Kemp s Ridley turtles can get sick with diseases.

37 Many experts gather to help the Kemp s Ridley Turtle.

38 Volunteers work hard to find turtle nests and move them to safe areas.

39 When new eggs are found they are moved to corrals where they are better protected from raccoons, dogs, and humans.

40 Some corrals hold as many as 100 nests or more.

41 Here you see Donna Shaver of the U.S. National Park Service at Padre Island National Seashore releasing hatchlings to return to the sea.

42 Some baby hatchlings go to a lab in Galveston, TX. They are raised until they reach a size where they can avoid the many dangers that face young sea turtles.

43 Here a volunteer is releasing one of the turtles raised at the Galveston Laboratory.

44 Education is a key to helping sea turtles.

45 Ila Loetscher loved to talk to people about the Kemp s Ridley and other sea turtles she helped save. She is known as the Turtle Lady of South Padre Island.

46 Elementary schools wrote letters to government officials asking them to help save the Kemp s Ridley turtle.

47 More people are building houses and hotels along the beaches of the Gulf Coast making it hard for the Kemp s Ridley turtle to live.

48 Because of signs like these on the beach, many sea turtles have been saved.

49 This is a turtle excluder device, sometimes called a TED. It is sewn into a shrimp net and helps save turtles that get caught in the net.

50 Here is a turtle swimming out of a shrimp net to safety. This shrimp net has a TED sewn in. Hooray!

51 The United States and Mexico worked together to save the species. Now the survival of the Kemp s Ridley is again up to us.
