Colour and Camouflage
http://www.abc.net.au/beasts/fossilfun/camouflage/default.htm
Description
In this tool, students choose one of three habitats (background colors): plains, jungle, or tundra, as well as whether to be a predator or prey. Then they try out different fur colors, patterns, and shadings to determine which work best (allow for greatest survival) in the different habitats.
Using the Resource
Encourage students to explore the great variety of combinations of fur colors, patterns, and shadings for each habitat. In addition, encourage students to create a variety of "successful" combinations for the different habitats and to explain why the camouflage is successful.
