The butterfly life cycle is an amazing event! As busy humans we rarely get to witness a caterpillar's transformation into a butterfly. Being able to understand this cycle is important because we need to know where butterflies come from and the steps between the two different creatures!
Task
You will work in groups of three, and each person will research a differnet stage of a butterfly. One person will research the caterpillar's life, the next person will research life between the caerpillar and the butterfly, and the last person will research the butterfly. Each person will explain their findings and you will have to collectively make a visual of the life cycle that will be put up in the classroom. You will have one week in class to finish the project!
Process
1. You will be assigned to your group of three and then decide who will be researching which parts of the cycle!
2. You will need to go to this link and see the basic steps of the life cycle.
3. You will also need to view this video clip!
4. After each person has gotten relevant terms for their sections, they are free to do more research!
5. Once everyone has gotten their information you will share what you've found in a group and start to make your visual!
