Reptile Study

Midwifemom asked me a few days ago if I was planning on doing a unit in the future on reptiles.  Well, we are about to finish up with botany and then we are going to be doing biology and zoology, so I told that I was.  I told her if I had time I’d do some poking around.  Well, Saturday I was feeling sick and was on the computer a good part of the day and the Reptile study just came together.  So here it is a couple months earlier than I thought!  As always please check the sites out before you let your children go there.  I do not check them out thoroughly until I am ready to use them myself.
