In this activity, learners use earthworms as "unknown creatures" from the South American jungle to find out how animals use senses.

In this lab (Activity #1 on page), learners explore how we see color.

In this activity, learners experience firsthand how marine animals' adaptive coloration camouflages them from prey.
