Cold Blooded Animals
I need a demonstration or experiment to support the question: "Why are cold blooded animals cold blooded"? Anything to demonstrate the way that the blood helps the animal or anything about adaptation...Must complete this weekend, because my project is late due to a stay in the hospital.

Re: Cold Blooded Animals
Hi,
Here is a link to a site that discusses the differences between hot and cold blooded animals. It is intended as a teacher resource for planning a unit on cold blooded animals, but it includes links to lots of resources that could prove useful to you. I recommend reading all the way through it before making any judgments on its usefulness, as the good stuff seems to be toward the bottom.

Re: Cold Blooded Animals
Well, if you wanted to do a demonstration, you could get a thermomiter and then find a costume, stuffed animal, piture, etc. of a cold blooded animal and somehow tie in the thermomiter with whatever you will use to show the animal. Then get three different locations with temps. like room temp., cold, and warm. Next use the thermomiter to show how the animal's body temp. increases with the temperature of their surroundings. Idk, just an idea.
