 Clothes

Chameleons can change the colors of their skin. Sometimes they

change color so they are difficult to see and become almost
invisible. Sometimes they change color to show that they are
angry or happy or looking for a partner.

Of course, hum Cans can`t change color of their

skin but we can change our clothes. Dark clothes make
a person look more powerful. Pink is romantic; blue is
calm. The color of your clothes says a lot about you.

Scientists are working on clothes that can change

color when you press a button. They are not ready yet,
but the idea is to make pants that can change from
white to black or a shirt that can change from white to
pink or red. Chameleon clothes!

But clothes that change color are also useful for soldiers. Like the chameleon, soldiers sometimes
need to be invisible. Chameleon clothes make the soldiers difficult to see. So, one day maybe you will be
able to change your clothes from powerful to romantic to invisible, at the press of a button.
