NOVEMBER 10 & 11: MAMMAL MYSTERIES

11/14/2014

0 Comments

 
Campers looked at different bio-clues like tracks, scat, pelts and skulls to discover these mammal mysteries. 

Our first task of camp was to discover what it means to be a mammal! We became mammal experts by playing a life-size board game all about mammals, played mammal old maid, and even dressed up lime mammals to learn about their adaptations. We also sorted animals into different categories and learned how to make a venn diagram to compare and contrast mammal features to those of birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish! We played more games, did more sorting, and even wrote a letter to Chompers after we were mammal experts! To finish up the day and to combat the cold, we turned into mammals at camp and made some shelters, caves, and dens out of sheets and furniture at camp!

On Tuesday we got a closer look at some mammal bio- clues. Bio- clues are things that animals leave behind in nature such as tracks, scat, and skulls! We made our own plaster tracks from different Colorado mammals and we also made a track identification book to use when we see some tracks in the wild! We also solved an animal mystery based on some bio clues we discovered: scat, tracks, skull, and fur- all ended up being from a beaver! Next, we got to explore our artistic side and channel Georgia O'Keefe with some skull water color paintings.

Next, we took to the stage and acted out plays about Colorado mammals that we had learned about over our days at camp. And to finish off the day we played a very silly Jeopardy- style bio-clue game called "Whose Scat is That?" where we solved mysteries and answered questions about Colorado mammals. ​
