All About Reptiles | Classification & Adaptation

Teach Reptiles! You can find them in wetlands, grasslands, deserts, the open sea, mountain ranges, coral reefs, and even on tiny islands. This group of vertebrates consists of a wide range of shapes and sizes. From the giant saltwater crocodile to the smallest species of gecko that is shorter than the length of a paper clip, reptiles are incredibly diverse!

SCIENCE STANDARDS:
NGSS
4-LS1-1
Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction. Examples of structures could include thorns, stems, roots, colored petals, heart, stomach, lung, brain, and skin. Assessment is limited to macroscopic structures within plant and animal systems.
TEKS
SCI.3.10.A
Organisms and environments. The student knows that organisms undergo similar life processes and have structures that help them survive within their environments. The student is expected to: explore how structures and functions of plants and animals allow them to survive in a particular environment
SCI.4.10.A
Organisms and environments. The student knows that organisms undergo similar life processes and have structures and behaviors that help them survive within their environment. The student is expected to: explore how structures and functions enable organisms to survive in their environment
SCI.5.10.A
Organisms and environments. The student knows that organisms have structures and behaviors that help them survive within their environments. The student is expected to: compare the structures and functions of different species that help them live and survive in a specific environment such as hooves on prairie animals or webbed feet in aquatic animals
SCI.6.12.C
Organisms and environments. The student knows all organisms are classified into domains and kingdoms. Organisms within these taxonomic groups share similar characteristics that allow them to interact with the living and nonliving parts of their ecosystem. The student is expected to: recognize that the broadest taxonomic classification of living organisms is divided into currently recognized domains
