Animal Coloration: Activities on the Evolution of Concealment

by Robert C. Stebbins (Editor)

A classic resource for teachers is now back in an updated edition! Using an inductive and experimental approach, "Animal Coloration," claims to increase students' awareness of the ways wild organisms are adapted to their environments. Each of the activities provides an opportunity to incorporate National Science Education Content Standards, including science and inquiry, life science, and history and nature of science. Also new to this edition is a table summarizing each activity with learning outcomes and relevant content standards. Originally published in 1966 by the Regents of the University of California, this book was difficult to find for far too long (worn copies are a cherished part of many teachers' libraries). NSTA Press is especially proud to bring this teaching resource to a new generation of teachers and to update the book for its long-time admirers.
