Now that the AP Biology exam is over and the school year has winded down some, I asked my teacher if I could bring in my bearded dragon someday and do a presentation. He said I could, but I'm in a bit of a dilemma.
I'd be more comfortable doing a tarantula presentation since I have more expertise in that area, but I think I could pull this off too if I can get some help from you guys.
My first and most important question is, how broad should I make the presentation? Reptiles? Squamata (snakes and lizards)? Just lizards? Or just bearded dragons? Or should I start with the most broad category and trickle down to bearded dragons?
Also, I need some ideas of what to include in the presentation. Keep in mind that this is a high school AP class, not an elementary school class. So I can't just settle for stuff like "reptiles are cold-blooded!" and "snakes eat mice!" I need good, advanced information that would be taught in an AP or college class. For example, things like the effect of temperature on gender determination in incubating bearded dragons - but I also need to include interesting things that would keep the kids awake lol. Things like that. By the way, I'll most likely be doing a PowerPoint presentation on this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
