Let's look at different kinds of reptiles!

You might need to visit a zoo, go to a pet store, or even look in a book.

If there are any reptiles near your house that your adult helper tells you are safe, take a look, but remember, not all reptiles are friendly.

Try to discover at least three different reptiles and draw a picture of each one (if you are looking in a book, you can look at photographs to get ideas for your drawings). As you are drawing, you might want to think about these questions:

  • How would you describe this reptile?
  • Do you see any patterns on this reptile? How are the patterns on these reptiles the same? How are they different?
  • Do you see any designs on this reptile? How are the designs on these reptiles the same? How are they different?
  • How does this reptile move around?
  • Where do you think this reptile might live?

When you are finished, look at all of your pictures. How are these reptiles the same? How are they different?
