Science education has a real problem. It doesn't involve much real science and fails to make connections to all of the wild places on our planet where science happens. Instead of learning about science, kids should be learning how to do science. We want real research based science education in the classroom, where kids (and teachers!) are excited about science, and have fun while they work. Can you picture a science classroom like this?

Fake lizard. Will it fool anyone?
This clay lizard will help us learn what selection pressures the brown anole faces in different environments. It will get attacked and we will identify and count the bite marks to learn about selection pressures.
this lizard looks really real, does it make an effect on the predators biting the lizard? would you have the same results for the clay lizards and the real lizards or would it be the same? can the different colors of the lizard attract different kind of predators? or the color does not matter when it comes to attracting the predators?
Well when I first saw this picture, I was very fooled by it. & well if i was a lizard or another type of animal I'll be very fooled by it too. Think that's why an animal attack one of the fake clay lizards and thats why its in two piece.
