Ask if students can find similarities in the animals they guessed were reptiles and those they guessed were amphibians. Amphibians were often found in the water. Their babies were eggs that hatched in water, became larvae and then developed into the adult form. Reptile eggs were buried in soil and the young that emerge are smaller versions of the adults. Many of the reptiles slither or roam along the prairie floor finding refuge in holes or under rocks.
Amphibians prefer cooler, moister areas.
Relate Activity and Concept 5. Have students look at their original lists. Have them change incorrect answers. Have them revise their definitions to include more details. Share the definitions with the class to make sure they include life cycle, physical descriptions and examples of the animals as well.
