Can you See It?
Camouflage is the ability of an animal to blend in with it's surroundings.
We learned all about camouflage and had a great group discussion answering the question, "Why do animals use camouflage?". This is what we came up with:
- "To hide from predators that want to eat them."
-"To make sure predators can't see them if they are looking for them."
-"To hide from prey so they can eat them when they come really close!"
Next, we got to play a fun "I Spy" game in the classroom to find moths hidden on the trees Ms. Gillis made! Take a look and see how many you can find:
Moth are hidden all around! 
We then got to put our new knowledge to the test and create our own Moth's to hide around the S.T.R.E.A.M. Lab. We first started by picking a place, then we got to coloring and creating a moth that would hide in well with those surroundings. Now the S.T.R.E.A.M. Lab is starting to look like it is covered with hidden creatures!
Keep Exploring,
Ms. Gillis
