California Academy of Sciences: Science @ Home - Skull Sketch
Zoom, spin, and rotate this 3D alligator snapping turtle specimen while practicing your skull-sketching skills…and keeping your fingers.
As you investigate the specimen, think about the five questions below. Share your answers with a friend or family member or just think in your head.
- What do you notice about the skull? Does it remind you of anything?
- Do you see any teeth? Based on its mouth, what do you think this turtle likes to eat?
- Do you notice parts of the skull with different colors? Why do you think they’re different?
- What could the different holes and openings in the skull be for?
- What else can you guess about this animal just by looking at its skull?
Got some science-loving small frys at home? Keep them engaged with an all-new array of themed activity packs created for kids ages 4-11, packed with guided videos, hands-on crafts, and real experiments. New packs published every month!
