traveling turtles:

A trip across

the atlantic

in late spring , huge sea turtles crawl

onto a beach in florida . each turtle digs

a nest in the sand . the mother turtle then

lays about 100 eggs . two months

later , tiny turtles hatch .

the young

turtles crawl out

of their holes and

into the ocean .

A long trip

the tiny turtles set out

on a long trip. they swim

across the atlantic ocean

and back again. the trip

takes between five and ten

years. the trip isthousands

of miles long.

scientists wanted to know

how the turtles made their

way across the ocean .

to find out , scientists put

''bathing suits'' on some

young sea turtles. the

suit were tied to special

machines. the machines

can follow how the turtles

swim.
