Activities Increase Student Awareness of Animal Adaptation
 Animal Coloration: Activities on the Evolution of Concealment was created to increase students’ understanding of evolution through activities that explore the way color aids an animal’s defense. Eight chapters, each devoted to a single aspect of coloration—for example, advertising coloration, disruptive coloration, matching background color, concealment of give-away parts—contain a discussion of the scientific principles, background on the subject, and an overview of the activities and materials required. The approach is inductive and experimental, and students are told little, so they can discover much. The book is filled with tables, line drawings, and charts, all easily copied from the book to use in the classroom. While all activities can be performed indoors, Animal Coloration is an ideal way to incorporate outdoor studies into your program. This terrific science title will also contribute to achievement in art, language, writing, and math. Visit the NSTA Science Store for details.
