The following themes can be geared towards a basic audience (pre-K-5th), an intermediate audience (6th-8th) or an advanced audience (9th and above).
Amazing Reptile Adaptations: Through millions of years of
adaptation, the reptiles that occupy our planet today are excellent
survivors. In this program we start with the basics, learning just what
animals are reptiles and why we classify them that way.
We then apply this understanding to how reptiles are adapted to live in
the variety of habitats that they occupy. The audience will discover why
crocodilians survived the mass extinction that killed the dinosaurs and
how snakes get along with out any arms or legs. In this program we
attempt to turn fear and misunderstanding of the scaly and slithery into
appreciation and respect.
