In this Mystery, students observe different animal behaviors and work to discover another pattern: all animals seek safety in order to survive.
The activity, Gopher in a Hole, includes physical movement in which students pretend to be snails hiding in their shells, praying mantises scaring away predators, and gophers popping out of holes.
