Hey there! Today, we’re going to learn all about some cool animals called amphibians. Are you ready? Let’s dive in!
Amphibians are special because they are born from eggs. When they are babies, they live in the water and breathe using gills, just like fish. Isn’t that neat?
As amphibians grow, they go through an amazing change called metamorphosis. They start to grow legs and can live both in water and on land. They also start breathing with lungs and through their skin. Their skin is always moist, and they don’t have any hair.
Amphibians are cold-blooded animals. This means their body temperature changes with the temperature of the air around them. If it’s warm outside, they get warm. If it’s cold, they get cold too!
Did you know that amphibians are the only animals with backbones that are born with tails and live in water? As they grow, they develop four legs and can explore the land. How cool is that?
Now that you know all about amphibians, can you think of five different amphibians? Try to name them and share with your friends!
Thanks for learning about amphibians with us today. Keep exploring and discovering new things about the amazing animals in our world. See you next time!
Amphibian Observation Walk: Take a walk in your backyard, a park, or a nearby pond with an adult. Look for places where amphibians might live, like near water or under rocks. Can you spot any frogs, toads, or salamanders? Draw a picture of what you see and describe the habitat where you found them.
Metamorphosis Craft: Create a simple craft showing the life cycle of an amphibian. Use paper plates or circles of paper to represent each stage: egg, tadpole, and adult frog. Draw or cut out pictures for each stage and connect them with string to show how they change. Share your craft with your class and explain each stage.
Temperature Experiment: Amphibians are cold-blooded, so their body temperature changes with their surroundings. Try this experiment: Fill two bowls with water, one with warm water and one with cold water. Place a small toy frog in each bowl. Feel the toy after a few minutes. How does the temperature of the toy change? Discuss with a friend or family member why this might be important for real amphibians.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the YouTube transcript:

How’s it going, everyone? Today, we’re going to talk about amphibians.
[Music]
Amphibians are oviparous animals, which means they are born from eggs. The babies are born in the water and breathe through their gills. As they grow, they can live on land or in the water and breathe through their lungs and skin. Their skin is moist, and they don’t need hair. They are cold-blooded animals, meaning their body temperature varies depending on the air temperature.
Did you know that amphibians are the only vertebrates that are born with a tail and live in the water? As they get bigger, they grow four legs and can live on land. This change is known as metamorphosis.
That’s everything about amphibians! I hope you enjoyed it. I’m going to stay here with my new friend. See you later!
