Here are the Questions that my seventh grade science students wanted sent
to the expert on loggerhead sea turtles:

1. How old will loggerhead sea turtles live to be, and what is the usual
cause of death?

2. We learned that loggerhead sea turtles can eat Portugese Man of War.
what protects them from the stinging cells in their eyes and mouth?

3. How far can they swim without pausing for rest?
