My Project

This project will allow students a real life experience by diving straight into life science and biology. Students will be able to see the growth of a chameleon through its life cycles and changes throughout the year and for years to come. Students will be able to have more of a hands on experience to the life cycle of a chameleon. They will also be able to compare and contrast the life cycle of a chameleon with that of a human. Students will be able to study while compare and contrasting the skeletal system, muscular system, digestive system, nervous system, and respiratory system.

The chameleon enclosure and needed materials are what will make taking care of a chameleon in the classroom a success.
