Amphibians are a class of animals that lay eggs in water, but when those eggs hatch, the amphibians swims to the surface and live mostly on dry ground. These animals, much like reptiles, are cold-blooded. This means that they cannot control their own body temperature. If they are in a

Tundras are biomes located around the North Pole, and are usually covered in snow, but when the summer comes, the snow thaws and some plants grow. The soil in most tundras is frozen permanently because of the freezing temperature that can reach -50 °C, which is just enough for an

Food webs consist of information that shows what different types of animals e.g., carnivores, eat. In a food web, there are four different classes called producers, first order consumers, second order consumers, and third level consumers. Producers Producers are plants that are at the bottom of the food web,
