Science. Students have been learning about mimicry and camouflage as we have studied animal adaptations. In learning about the peppered moth and how its camouflage changed after the industrial revolution, the students were challenged to design their own moth camouflage and hide it on a wall in the room. We then acted as predators and "hunted" for them in the classroom. We graphed how many we found versus how many were hidden. The ones that were not found would represent the "survivors" which tended to have the best camouflage. Next we moved the moths out of their natural environment (a new wall) to see how well they now blended in. We predict there will be fewer "survivors" this time. Can you find some of the hidden moths in the attached picture?
Have a great night,
Mrs. Dressel and Mr. Pransky
