ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Smile and Learn English Reptiles for kids – Vertebrate animals – Natural Science For Kids
Hello, friends! Today, we’re going to learn about a special group of animals called reptiles. Reptiles are a type of vertebrate, which means they have a backbone just like us!
Reptiles are unique because they are born from eggs. Isn’t that cool? Their bodies are covered with hard scales that protect them. Some reptiles have short legs, and some, like snakes, don’t have any legs at all! And guess what? Some reptiles, like turtles, have a shell. Hello, Mr. Turtle!
Reptiles are cold-blooded animals. This means their body temperature changes with the temperature of the air around them. So, if it’s warm outside, they feel warm, and if it’s cold, they feel cold too!
Reptiles breathe using their lungs, just like we do. They need to come up to the surface to take a breath of fresh air.
Reptiles usually like to live in warm places. They love basking in the sun to keep their bodies nice and warm.
Did you know that reptiles can live a really long time? Some turtles can live up to a hundred years! That’s a lot of birthdays!
Now that you know a bit about reptiles, can you think of five more reptiles that we didn’t talk about? Write them down and share them with your friends!
If you enjoyed learning about reptiles, make sure to keep exploring and discovering new things. There’s always something exciting to learn in the world of animals!
Reptile Observation Walk: Take a walk in your backyard, local park, or garden with an adult. Look for reptiles or signs of them, like lizards basking in the sun or turtles near a pond. Draw a picture of any reptiles you see and note down what they are doing. Are they in the sun or shade? Do they have legs or a shell?
Reptile Temperature Experiment: Fill two small containers with water. Place one in a sunny spot and the other in a shady spot. After an hour, feel the water in both containers. Which one is warmer? Discuss how this experiment relates to how reptiles feel warm or cold depending on where they are.
Create Your Own Reptile: Using clay or playdough, create your own reptile. Think about what makes a reptile special, like scales, shells, or no legs. Give your reptile a name and share a story about where it lives and what it likes to do. Does it prefer sunny or shady places?
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Reptiles are all viviparous animals, meaning they’re born from eggs. Their bodies are covered in hard scales. Their legs are really short; actually, some don’t even have legs, like snakes. Some reptiles have a shell, like a turtle. Good morning, turtle!
They are cold-blooded animals, which means their body temperature varies depending on the air temperature.
