Question 48
In groups, carry out this investigation to find out why some plant-eating insects are green.
You will need about 50 toothpicks of different colours (some must be green), a green surface (such as a patch of grass or green cloth) and a timer.
1. Throw the toothpicks onto the green surface.
2. Pick up as many toothpicks as you can in 1 minute. Predict the colour of toothpicks you would pick up the most and the colour of toothpicks you would pick up the least. Explain why.
