CAMOUFLAGE T H E B U T T E R F LY let’s get started 1. Have each student color and cut out a butterfly to camouflauge in the room. Once the butterflies are finished, have students hide them in the room. Use tape (on backside) to secure the butterflies. 2. Ask a student from another room or a teacher to visit the classroom as a bird. The bird will fly around the room looking for food. It must find 4 butterflies within 1 minute to survive. 3. After one minute, stop the search. If the bird has not found 4 butterflies they will fly of or die. If the bird does find 4 butterflies, give them another minute to find 4 more. Students can repeat the activity for another minute if they want to bring in another bird. After the search, ask the students to show the locations of their butterflies. 4. Compare the butterfly patterns to see the adaptations that were useful in survival. Have the students share their observations in a classroom discussion.
