If you have a smaller group (1 to 15 students), you need to use the Small Group Version of this activity. This version has step-by-step activity instructions on the printout. The step-by-step in the lesson can be used for groups of 16+ students.

Don’t Throw Away Extra Adopt A Lizard Cards

There are three types of lizards in the activity simulation -- Not-So-Good Climbers, Good Climbers, and Excellent Climbers. It’s important that the simulation begins with an equal number of these lizard types. So, if the number of students in your classroom isn’t divisible by 3 (e.g. 28 students), then you will have a few extra Adopt A Lizard Cards printed out. Have students who finish quickly fill out these extra Adopt A Lizard cards.

Prep Baby Lizard Cards

Each student needs a half sheet of the Baby Lizard Cards. Cut each Baby Lizard page in half before class. You'll distribute one to each student in Step 10, Part 2 of the activity.
