What is the Main Idea?
A) Sea turtles lay eggs on the beach.
B) Sea turtles are amazing ocean animals with special features.
C) Some turtles have shells that are very hard.

Main Idea & Supporting Detail Match
Name: ____________________
Date: _____________________
Directions:
Read each "Message" from the beach. Then, look at the "Main Idea Bottles" below. Write the Bottle Number that best matches the message in the box provided.
Message A
Crabs spend a lot of time searching for food. They often eat small fish, snails, and even pieces of seaweed. Some crabs use their strong claws to crack open shells and find a tasty snack inside. They are very active during low tide.
Match Bottle #:
Message B
Hermit crabs don't grow their own shells. Instead, they find empty snail shells to live in. As the hermit crab grows bigger, it must leave its old shell and find a new, larger one. It is important for them to find a shell that fits just right!
Match Bottle #:
Message C
Life in a tide pool is very difficult because the water is always changing. When the tide goes out, animals are trapped in small puddles of water. They have to survive the hot sun and keep away from hungry birds until the tide comes back in.
Match Bottle #:
Message D
Beaches are constantly changing because of wind and water. Waves crash against the shore and pull sand back into the ocean. Over time, the wind blows the dry sand into large hills called dunes. A beach never looks exactly the same for long!
Match Bottle #:
Bottle #1
Nature reshapes the coastline.
Bottle #2
Crabs have many ways to find food.
Bottle #3
Tide pools are tough environments.
Bottle #4
Crabs use recycled homes for shelter.
