Camo Critters
by Sarah Bailey
Students will learn about the adaptation of camouflage through picture books and research. They will then learn about animals specific to the area. (In this lesson, we are using the Bill Williams National Wildlife Refuge between Parker and Lake Havasu, but this can be modified to any area.) They will participate in a fun outdoor simulation of a bird collecting worms. Students will graph the color of worms that were collected to analyze how well color camouflage worked in the simulation. Then they will create their own "critter" designed to blend in to their local environment. The class will take their "camo critters" to their outdoor location and photograph their creation in their habitat. Finally, you can create a class slide show to showcase their work.
