cause to appear so. 2 The natural colouring or form of
an animal which helps it to blend in with its surroundings.
3 To stop being visible, to vanish

The Peppered Moth
• Today, we are going to find out about a very special animal, that used camouflage to help it survive where there were changes in the quality of local air
• But first, let’s see if you can spot the camouflaged animals

camouflage to not be seen clearly • Can you see them on the following pages?

Camouflaged animals• In pairs think about “Why might these animals
need camouflage?”

Peppered Moth story
• Read the Peppered Moth story
• Fill in the blanks
• When everyone has finished– Read out the sentences– Why do you think
camouflage is so important to the Peppered Moth?

Peppered Moth results
Hopefully you will have seen the following:
![Page 17: Peppered Moth Lesson 1 – Lower Key Stage 2. Starter Activity Here are three definitions of what camouflage is – in pairs discuss which one you think is](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052603/56649e5c5503460f94b53d48/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Simulation questions
• What did the simulations show you?• If you were a light-coloured
Peppered moth which forest or places would be better for you to live in?
• If you were a dark-coloured Peppered moth which forest or places would be better for you to live in?
![Page 18: Peppered Moth Lesson 1 – Lower Key Stage 2. Starter Activity Here are three definitions of what camouflage is – in pairs discuss which one you think is](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052603/56649e5c5503460f94b53d48/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Peppered Moth classroom experiment (non-ICT)
• We are going to carry out an experiment to show you why the Peppered Moth changed colour
• What we need:– Black, Grey and White sugar
paper (A2)– Lots of hole punched circles in
black, grey and white– Volunteers (all of you)!
![Page 19: Peppered Moth Lesson 1 – Lower Key Stage 2. Starter Activity Here are three definitions of what camouflage is – in pairs discuss which one you think is](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052603/56649e5c5503460f94b53d48/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
What do we need to do?
• Lay the three A2 sheets on tables next to each other with cups next to them
• Put an equal mix of the punched out discs on the sheets
• Line up in a row• Each child goes to each sheet and
picks up a disc and places in the cup next to it
• Go to the back of the row
![Page 20: Peppered Moth Lesson 1 – Lower Key Stage 2. Starter Activity Here are three definitions of what camouflage is – in pairs discuss which one you think is](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052603/56649e5c5503460f94b53d48/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Results
• In your tables count how many discs of each colour were found in your cups
• How many are there?• In pairs, discuss why
you got the results you did?

Peppered Moth experiment results
• Are the results what you expected?
• Why are the results different for each background?
![Page 22: Peppered Moth Lesson 1 – Lower Key Stage 2. Starter Activity Here are three definitions of what camouflage is – in pairs discuss which one you think is](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052603/56649e5c5503460f94b53d48/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Why is the Peppered Moth important?
• The Peppered Moth is called an indicator species, because it indicates if somewhere is polluted
• We can all help to keep the air clean
• In pairs, discuss with your partner what you think you can do to reduce pollution in the air
![Page 23: Peppered Moth Lesson 1 – Lower Key Stage 2. Starter Activity Here are three definitions of what camouflage is – in pairs discuss which one you think is](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052603/56649e5c5503460f94b53d48/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Films about dirty air • Walking, cycling or scooting are good for
the air as they do not create dirty air, which is also called air pollution, whereas cars do make air pollution!
Here are a couple of short films which talk about dirty air – also known as air pollution

Peppered Moth activity
• We’re going to measure how we travel to school using the Peppered Moth
![Page 25: Peppered Moth Lesson 1 – Lower Key Stage 2. Starter Activity Here are three definitions of what camouflage is – in pairs discuss which one you think is](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052603/56649e5c5503460f94b53d48/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Peppered Moth outline
• We will be using different coloured stickers for different ways of getting to school
• You’ll stick your sticker to the moth each day to show how you travelled to school

Discussion Questions
• Ask the children in pairs or in tables to discuss some or all of the following questions:– How do you think animals like
zebras or tigers became camouflaged in their environment?
– If you had a Peppered Moth from before the factories were built and one from now, which one would be lighter, and which one darker in colour? Why?

Plenary
• BIG QUESTION – What is the link between animals camouflaging themselves and air pollution? – What information do you
need to recall and explain to answer this question?
