Closeup videography shows loggerhead turtles hatching from eggs laid on the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean coast. They crawl out of the sand toward the glimmering body of water and begin to swim. The newborn turtles swim for safety, avoiding predators b...y hiding. After 36 hours they arrive in deep water, where they can live well by eating jellyfish and lobster. Scientists have studied dead loggerhead turtles and found that the majority have starved to death after eating undigestible plastic trash that people have dropped into the ocean. A pleasant adult male voice narrates, using descriptive, child-friendly vocabulary; soundtrack includes some musical enhancement. Close-up videography of sea creatures; video does not mention that most loggerheads live on the coasts of Florida, US, which includes the Gulf of Mexico, or that they are also found on the Indian Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. In 2010 they are an endangered species.

The young turtles must make a run to the water and hide out to protect them from predators. They are found in the Atlantic Ocean region. They are programmed to find the ocean and their is no mother to guide them. Females may return to the same spot t...o lay eggs. Males will never leave the water. Predators are everywhere and the turtles can make themselves look like leaves. Students will learn many facts about loggerhead turtles in this video. This is a great teaching resource for elementary/middle school students. This video would work well in conjunction with a thematic unit and/or science lesson on reptiles, oceans, pollution, and/or life cycles. This would also be a super resource for building background knowledge. (2:49)
