Survival Lab
OVERVIEW
Predator - An organism (animal) that lives by
preying on other organisms (animals).
Examples include: lions, eagles, snakes.
Prey - An organism (animal) seized by another for food. Examples include:
rabbits, mice, gazelles.
Protective coloration - an adaptation where color
matching is used to blend into the background.
Examples include : polar bear, lion, rabbit.
Camouflage an adaptation that uses two or more colors to create a matching pattern that visually breaks up the outline of an organism so it
blends into its surroundings. Examples include: zebras,
tigers, giraffe.
In this activity you will be the predator. You
will hunt different type of prey in different
surroundings.
The prey will be considered ‘killed’ if it is counted by
the predator.
Each ‘hunting field’ will be different and the
prey will be distributed in different locations for
each hunt.
You will ‘hunt’ the same prey on the
same background 3 different times.
For each hunt, you will record the number of
prey killed in your data chart. Each hunt will
have between 15 and 30 prey.
