In this mini-lesson, students consider whether "invisibility" could be a property of a material, and are introduced to a clever technique used to create an effect that is similar to invisibility. In the activity, Animal Hide-and-Seek, students discover different ways that animals hide from predators, and then use what they learn to hide their own secret messages.

After you complete the lesson and activity, try this extension.
Being invisible would be fun because nobody could SEE you! But what about if you have loud shoes? Or need to sneeze? How could you make sure that nobody could HEAR you? Could you invent something? Or change how you behave? Think about animals that are really good at sneaking around quietly. Can you think of a way to be more like them? How can you make sure no one can hear the invisible you? Draw or write about your ideas.
