Butterflies

Delight your students with a bouquet of butterflies--sometimes called “flying flowers”--as they learn about:

•The metamorphosis from egg to cocoon to butterfly.
•The unusual ways in which a caterpillar uses its antennae, proboscis, and feet.

Celia watches a monarch butterfly hatch and plans to set it free but, before she does, she learns all about the life cycle of a butterfly. She visits a butterfly expert who teaches her about the functions of the parts of a butterfly, the tricks caterpillars use to fool their enemies, and how to tag a monarch.

Teacher’s Guide activities help your students explore:
•A butterfly’s life cycle.
•Why butterflies have such beautiful markings.
•How to make colorful tissue paper butterflies with clothespin bodies.
•How to make a butterfly mobile.
