While learning about natural selection, Biology students in Mrs. Smith's class were given the challenge to design butterflies that would best camouflage in plain sight within a "habitat" in the classroom. After placing the butterflies in their habitat, AP Biology students in the next class period played the role of predators and hunted for butterflies for 5 minutes. This activity modeled evolution by natural selection - that butterflies best adapted for their habitat would survive predation and be more likely to reproduce offspring that also have that beneficial adaptation. #ColonelTOUGH
