📌 3bU7-over in the meadowreptile the Magic School Bus Episode: The Magic School Bus Gets Cold Feet (Season 2 Episode 12). 🎈 Supplement & Game 1. All about Reptiles1、Nearly all reptiles lay shelled eggs2、Reptiles breathe air3、Reptiles are covered in scales or have a bony external plate such as a shell4、Nearly all reptiles are cold blooded5、The first reptiles are believed to have evolved around 320 million years ago. They are the oldest type of animal in the world6、Reptiles use a variety of methods to defend themselves from dangerous situations, such as avoidance camouflage, hissing and biting7、Snakes and lizards flick their tongues in the air to smell8、Reptiles do not have sweat glands like you and I have so their skin is usually cool and dry cold blooded vs warm bloodedThis is a short and quick experiment to help kids see what cold blooded vs warm blooded means.Equipment You'll Need:Thermometer (to take your kid's temperature)Instant read thermometer (to take the temperature of a glass of water) (we used one like this)StepsFirst, find 3 different places with 3 different temperatures. For example, you can use a sunny spot outside, a shaded spot outside, and a spot next to a warm appliance.Fill up 3 small glasses of water using room temperature water. Set one glass in each of the 3 locations. Wait about an hour.When ready, take your kid to each of the three locations and take their temperature. Their temperature should stay the same.Next, use the instant thermometer and take the temperature of the water in the glass. The temperature should be different.Explain how the water changes temperature based on the environment. This is what happens to cold blooded animals. Reptile Play I am a reptile mommy. who wants to be a reptile baby?I'm going to lay eggs. And my babies will hatch out. Will you take care of yourself after hatching?Show me your teeth.

They also carry disease.啮齿动物吃人的食物和庄稼。它们也携带疾病。Snakes keep rodent populations under control. Without their help, rodents would overrun [ˌoʊvəˈrʌn] the earth.蛇能控制啮齿动物的数量。如果没有他们的帮助，啮齿动物会横扫地球 snakeskinDo you know what is it?It is skin of snake.They are also covered in scales [skeɪlz].As a snake grows, its skin becomes stretched.Unlike our skin, a snake's skin doesn't grow as the body grows.the snake will take off its old skin and replace it with a new layer of skin.knowledgeSnakes shed their skin as they grow to allow for further growth and to remove parasites that may have attached to their old skin.蛇生长过程中会蜕皮，以便进一步生长，并除去附着在旧皮肤上的寄生虫。As a snake grows, its skin becomes stretched.当蛇生长时，它的皮肤就会被撑大。Unlike human skin, a snake's skin doesn't grow as the body grows.与人类皮肤不同，蛇的皮肤不会随着身体的生长而生长。Eventually, a snake's skin reaches a point where further growth is not possible.最终，蛇的皮肤达到了无法进一步生长的程度。At that time, the snake will shed its old skin and replace it with a new layer of skin.那个时候，蛇就要把旧的皮脱落，重新换一层新的皮肤。 hibernationThey hibernate[ˈhaɪbərneɪt] during the winter season.它们在冬季冬眠。 Game: Catch the snakeDrag a jump rope across the floor (snake) and encourage children to try to catch it. 3. Lizard All lizards are reptiles. A typical lizard has a small head, a long body and a long tail. One of its most interesting features is its tail. Lizards have long tails that can grow back if they get broken (or bitten) off. Another interesting fact is that it have a tongue like you do, but it use the tongue to smell things! Imagine having to stick out your tongue to smell a flower!They come in many different sizes, shapes, and colors. Sometimes, their colors are bright and beautiful; other times, they blend in with the colors of nature. The colors and shapes of their bodies depend on our environments.There are many species of lizard, so it’s no wonder they come in various sizes. Almost all lizards are harmless to humans. The lizard is a favorite pet for many people.Almost all lizards live on the ground, but some make their homes in trees, burrows, and even water. Their diet includes fruits and plants, insects, birds, amphibians, carrion, and plants.A lizard spends a considerable amount of time seeking out food. Many of them, including Iguanian lizards, hang out in familiar spots and usually wait for prey 4. Turtle and tortoise Turtles Turtles have a hard shell that protects them like a shield, this upper shell is called a carapace.Turtles also have a lower shell called a plastron.Many turtle species can hide their heads inside their shells when attacked by predators. Turtles have existed for around 215 million years. Turtles lay eggs. Some turtles lay eggs in the sand and leave them to hatch on their own. The young turtles make their way to the top of the sand and scramble to the water while trying to avoid predators. Tortoises – are animals that live on land. The feet have rounded, stumpy toes with deep pads perfect for walking on land.Tortoises are different to turtles because they only live on land and do not have flippers. Tortoises have stubby, elephant-like feet and heavier, domed shells. Tortoises shells have nerve endings, so tortoises can feel every rub, pet, or scratch. A tortoise's shell is made up of 60 different bones, all of which are connected to one another. Although they have no teeth, tortoises have strong mouths and horned ridges to mash their food. Tortoises have good vision and very good sense of smell. Tortoises are herbivores (plant eaters). They eat grass, flowers, tree leaves and fruit. Tortoises hibernate (sleep) all winter. 5. crocodile and alligatorThe key difference between a crocodile and an alligator lies in their physics appearance. The snout of the crocodiles is long narrow and V-shaped while the snout f the alligator is wide and U shaped. CrocodilesCrocodiles are reptiles.The physical characteristics of crocodiles make them good predators.Crocodiles are fast over short distances.Crocodiles have sharp teeth.Crocodiles have the strongest bite of any animal in the world.The muscles that open crocodiles jaws however are not so powerful, reasonably strong people could hold a crocodiles jaw closed with their bare hands.Like other reptiles, crocodiles are cold-blooded.Crocodiles can survive for a long time without food.Most crocodiles live in fresh water rivers and lakes but some live in salt water.Crocodiles eat a variety of fish, birds and other animals. AlligatorsAlligators have shorter, wider heads that are more U-shaped than crocodiles.Alligators strongly favor freshwater while some species of crocodile live in seawater.Alligators are less aggressive than crocodiles.Alligators tend to have a darker appearance than crocodiles.Alligators in the wild are only found in the US and China while crocodiles are found all over the world.
