Introduction
3-5 grade science class
Welcome to my web quest! This quest will be about the lifecycle of a butterfly, the stages, and how it works!
We will be watching a video, completing a worksheet, and learning together about butterflies!
Task
You will be completing the stages of life of a butterfly. Watch this YouTube video to get started and take notes: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=video&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjht-jw9Kv7AhV0m2oFHQZgCBkQtwJ6BAgIEAI&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DO1S8WzwLPlM&usg=AOvVaw2CHH6Z9jfp5O-ciiD-qw5o
the life cycle of a butterfly is egg > caterpillar > cocoon >butterfly.
Write down 5 bullet points if possible and have them ready!
Process
The butterfly starts from an egg. 🥚 They grow in the egg and that egg hatches into a caterpillar 🐛, or a larvae. Once the caterpillar had grown enough, they form into a cocoon, or pupa. The caterpillar stays in the cocoon until it has begun a beautiful butterfly 🦋 or the adult stage! The cocoon hatched and the caterpillar is now a beautify butterfly! This is called the butterflies life cycle. Every caterpillar grows into a butterfly in their lifecycle.

-The egg then hatches into a caterpillar
-Our caterpillar then forms itself a cocoon
-The cocoon hatches into a beautiful butterfly!
