we connected to a link discussing a day in the life of a lizard
and studied ways animals warm up and cool down
*Water Balance
*Liver and Kidneys

Sending Messages:

*Color coding
- - examples: cinnabar caterpillar's orange and black stripes warn that he is poisonous
butterflies - the African monarch butterfly is poisonous, but predators will also leave the Swallowtail butterfly alone because its coloring mimics the monarch.

*Body language (the dance of the bee, importance in the pack)
*Making noises (birds, grasshoppers, crickets: calls of warning, or to attract a mate)
*Chemical messages to attract a mate or mark their territory
