Girl Scouts Love State Parks: Temperature Trials

Join Girl Scouts all over the country in the 2026 Girl Scouts Love State Parks event. Unlike mammals, reptiles rely on the environment to regulate their body temperature. Learn about the tactics used by ectotherms to survive the ever-changing outdoor conditions. Then, experience the challenge firsthand as you use a thermometer to simulate maintaining a lizard's ideal body temperature in a set of fun temperature trials.
