BIRDS AND WORMS SOURCE: Our wonderful World: Solutions for Math and Science, AIMS Education Foundation, 1987. GRADE LEVEL: 2-4 OBJECTIVES: To introduce basic concepts of camouflage and natural selection. MATERIALS: Various colored pipe cleaners cut and bent in the shape of worms (number varies depending on size of group), large sheet of paper, drawing paper, crayons, The Mixed­ ~ Chameleon by Eric Carle, other books on camouflage such as Unfolding World: Invisible Animals, 1993, Running Press Book Publishers, Philadelphia. PROCEDURES: Preactivity: Read the Mixed-up Chameleon Discuss when and why the chameleon changed colors and how this helped him. Introduce the terms camouflage and natural selection. Tell the group we are going outside to play a game and learn more about this. Activity: Have the group close their eyes while you scatter the worms about the field of prey. Each member of the group will draw the name of a bird. Call the name of a bird, one at a time. The bird flies over the field and catches the first worm it sees. As they return each bird lays its worm in order on the large sheet of paper. After everyone has a turn, discuss which worms were found first and why. The discussion will relate to the color of the worms and their habitat. Follow-up: Continuing the discussion inside, look at several books on animal camouflage and talk about ways that animals use camouflage in their environment. As the group for examples of different animals that use camouflage and how this helps the animal. Pass out drawing paper and crayons. Draw pictures of animals using camouflage in their natural environment. Pass around books for ideas on what to draw. Share and explain drawings.
