Cold-Blooded Classification: Reptiles
Engage in the world of classification as we focus on a particular cold-blooded animal group: reptiles! By meeting live reptiles, and through hands-on activities, students will explore the adaptations that make them successful, and how scientists compare and contrast these particular cold-blooded creatures.
Experience live, interactive programs right in your classroom! Our educators use videoconferencing technology to share science, nature and math activities with your students, engaging them in a dynamic, hands-on learning experience.

ESS3.A: Natural Resources
Living things need water, air, and resources from the land, and they live in places that have the things they need. Humans use natural resources for everything they do.
ESS2.E: Biogeology
Plants and animals can change their environment.
LS1.A: Structure and Function
All organisms have external parts. Different animals use their body parts in different ways to see, hear, grasp objects, protect themselves, move from place to place, and seek, find, and take in food, water and air.
Plants and animals have both internal and external structures that serve various functions in growth, survival, behavior, and reproduction.
LS1.C: Organization for Matter and Energy Flow in Organisms
All animals need food in order to live and grow. They obtain their food from plants or from other animals.
LS1.D: Information Processing
Different sense receptors are specialized for particular kinds of information, which may be then processed by the animal’s brain. Animals are able to use their perceptions and memories to guide their actions.
LS4.D: Biodiversity and Humans
There are many different kinds of living things in any area, and they exist in different places on land and in water.
