The patterns and colours we see in animals show some amazing adaptations. In this Nature Classroom we will explore evolution through animal colour.
Explore the adaptations and evolution with our Natural Selection game; design your own camouflage and warning colours; play a computer game looking at animal mimicry; and create an origami dresser crab.
The activities within this pack have been designed to suit different ages and learning styles. Browse through and choose the ones that best suit your students.
These activities support learning in the following areas:
- Identify and name a variety of common animals
- Identify that most living things live in habitats to which they are suited
- Recognise that living things have changed over time
- Identify how animals are adapted to suit their environment in different ways and that adaptation may lead to evolution
- Asking relevant questions; gathering, recording and presenting data; recording findings using simple scientific language, drawings, and labelled diagrams.
