Students will demonstrate their knowledge of caterpillars to butterflies in various ways and through different mediums throughout the unit. The students will draw and briefly write in butterfly journals about every other day. These journals will show what they are learning, observing and exploring. The students will also participate in group activities and discussion to demonstrate their knowledge of caterpillars to butterflies. The students will complete various activities to show what they are learning. The students will demonstrate their knowledge of the four stages of the butterfly life cycle by correctly identifying the order and what an egg, caterpillar, chrysalis and butterfly look like through their journaling, discussion and group activities.
