Day 5 Camouflage Continued- "Classroom Camouflage" Materials: interactive notebooks, pencils, animal shaped paper from die cut machine- any animal will be fine, crayons, markers, colored pencils Objectives: Students will: define structural adaptation define camouflage explain why camouflage is important to animals- both predator and prey camouflage an animal to blend in with its new habitat- your classroom! Start today by reviewing yesterday's lesson. Ask the students to get out their camouflage foldable and discuss with their table what we learned yesterday for 1 minute. Then, ask the students to get out their interactive notebook. During the previous lesson, we listed ocean animals and how they used camouflage. Give the students 5 minutes to reflect on that lesson by drawing one of the animals that they took notes about on the left side of the notebook (from yesterday's notes). Include 1 or 2 sentences about how that animal uses camouflage for survival. Then, tell them that we are going to play a game called "Classroom Camouflage." They are going to be given a white piece of paper shaped like an animal. Students should find something in the room that they want to camouflage the animal as. (It has to be something that stays in the room. It can't be on a book, or bookbag, etc.) Give each student the outline of an animal. Explain that they can use crayons, markers. or colored pencil to make their animal blend in with its new habitat- your classroom! When the students are finished, they should put their name on the back of the animal and where they want the teacher to hang it. Then, hand in to the teacher discreetly so their classmates don't see it. When all students are out of the room for an activity, the teacher hangs up the animals in the right place where they blend in. Then, throughout the week, the students try to find their classmates' animals.
