During this class time we learned about the Chameleon. Most of the worlds Chameleons live on Madagascar. The Chameleon's long tongue can move 13 mph and ends in a suction cup, both of these things help to catch insects to eat. Also, one of the most interesting things we talked about is that contrary to popular belief the Chameleon does not change color for camouflage. The Chameleon changes color to communicate mood, defend territories, or show off for a potential mate.
We looked at pictures and watched a video clip that highlighted many different types of Madagascar Chameleons. The kids really enjoyed watching a clip that showed dinner time for a group of Chameleons. We got to see lots of long, fast tongues finding their food.
For our project we made a color changing Chameleon with paper plates.
