Today, we were entrusted with the important task of designing and building bridges to go over an alligator infested moat! Ok it wasn't a real moat or real alligators by we did build some epic bridges! Some of our bridges withstood weights upwards of 35 lbs! We'd call that a success! We learned about more reptiles today and went searching for reptiles on our nature walk throughout the park.
We're exploring the fascinating lives of reptiles and amphibians this week and we kicked things off today with some awesome reptile facts. Did you know that horned lizards use blood as their defense mechanism and the Basilisk lizard defies physics and runs and water to evade predators! Awesome! Reptiles also shed their skin periodically as they grow so Mr. Jacob helped us all turn into reptiles for the day! We used elmer's glue on our hands and peeled the dry glue off to mimic the feeling of reptiles shedding skin. We then compared our 'shed' skin to that of real shed skin from snakes at APEC.
