Are you interested in teaching your students about natural selection and camouflage as an adaptive survival strategy? What better way to get them to understand the adaptive process than bringing it indoors into the classroom and have them do it, hands-on?! Sure, showing them a video will properly illustrate what it looks like visually, but nothing beats a hands-on experience, right?! TopScience.org has put together the perfect activity to show your students what camouflage as an adaptive survival strategy looks like. Even better, all you need is white paper, a pencil, a bright window to trace against, paint, crayons or colored pencils, scissors and tape. You'll also need colored toothpicks if you choose to do the extension of the activity.
