Animal Adaptations: Camouflage
by kelsey kendrick
In this lesson students combine science and math standards to explore the animal adaptation: camouflage. Students engage in discussion, watch a video, complete a hands-on activity, fill out a table, and analyze their data. The hands-on activity gives students a chance to model the adaptation of mimicry using M&Ms and Skittles.
