We are using Apologia's Zoology 3 book this year for science. I really enjoying using the Apologia books as a read aloud and doing the notebooking and other activities together. I am learning so much along with the boys. For this activity, we were learning how habitat and camoflauge effect the life cycles of an animal. We tore different colors of construction paper into pieces and mixed them into a laundry basket. Then we mixed M&Ms in with the torn paper. The boys had 1 minute to find as many M&Ms as they could. Then we counted them and subtracted from what we started out with to see which color had the most "survive" in that habitat.
Of course, when we were done, none of the M&Ms "survived". :) They were all eaten!
You aren't going to tell us which color survived?!? :)
ReplyDeleteWe started out with 36 of each color. We ended with the following found in each color: Red 19, Green 22, Brown 22, Yellow 23, Blue 24, and Orange 25. So the Reds won!
