These activities introduce simple ecology principles, such as camouflage, and how plants and animals survive the weather. Do any six of the following: Find different kinds of seeds that travel by "helicopter", "parachute", "sling shot", as a "hitchhiker", or by "animal express". Discuss how seeds are dispersed. With the help of an adult, dye a piece of cloth or T-shirt using plants to make the color. Make a plaster cast or take a picture of an animal track. Show at least three different ways animals camouflage themselves. Show at least three different ways animals survive the Canadian winter. Show at least three examples of how plants, insects and animals protect themselves from weather or predators. Take a hike through an urban community to look for nature. Observe any wild animal and report on what you learned from its behavior. Find examples in books or real life and tell how plants and animals attract or repel others using color and smell. Describe or draw some ways animals capture or eat food.
