Green sticks-Red sticks!

The "Green Sticks-Red Sticks" activity uses colored sticks, bubble wrap over the eyes, and tweezers to simulate how camouflage affects survival. Participants try to pick up colored sticks placed on matching colored backgrounds, showing how well-camouflaged sticks are harder to spot. This illustrates how animals evolve camouflage to avoid predators, influencing survival and evolution. 

Learning Objective:

To understand the concept of camouflage in animals and how it supports survival by reducing visibility to predators and driving natural selection.
