Books, books and more books to help you out (oh, and a few websites)
I have provided some information about some books that I love that will get the little kiddies excited about this topic. Make sure you have a read of them first, to see what will be best suited to your class. This is also important for what activity will be accompanying the book the best.... HAPPY READING...
Some good links to information for children and videos:
This video Super Chameleon gives no information- but it shows the chameleon changing colour- the children will LOVE it!
Here are a few links to some really useful website pages containing videos or information of Chameleons. Just click onto the Blue words to take you directly to the website. These links can be useful tools to read or look at as a class, or you might get your students to find their own information...the choice is yours:
The Natural History Museum provides some great information on Chameleons. However the information is quite brief and simple.
|
The National Geographic Kids website provide a video about Baby Chameleons.
They also provide a small creature feature fact sheet about Cool Chameleons. |
A-Z animals provides some really interesting information about Chameleons and even has a really helpful Chameleon Fact Sheet located down the side for brief information.
|
The San Diego Zoo provided me with some really informative facts about Chameleons, however the layout isn't as child friendly as some of the other websites provided.
|
The information the Smithsonian National Zoological Park includes on their website about Chameleons is quite short, sharp and precise.
|
The Life in Cold Blood Chameleon Segment video is from the BBC life in cold blood series by David Attenborough.

This poster is something you can download in PDF and print and put up in your classroom.
