This science model allows students to see what each stage of a butterfly's life cycle looks like. Have students examine characteristics of each stage and put them into the diagram in the correct order.

This gives an example as to how we will use a bar graph for the students to compare measurements at different stages of a caterpillar with having them rounding to whole numbers when measuring with a ruler. NY-3.MD.3  Draw a scaled picture graph and a scaled bar graph to represent a data set with several categories. Solve one- and two-step “how many more” and “how many less” problems using  information presented in a scaled picture graph or a scaled bar graph.

In this video, we get to see an example of what we had read in the book. The students are releasing butterflies that they spent time raising in their classroom. The video also contain's photos from each stage of the butterflies life cycle.

Becoming Butterflies from PEEP and the Big World

In this video, kids are examining butterflies in nature. The children are identifying different species of butterflies. This video lets students see that they can go outside and actually examine butterflies and the stages of their life cycle. The video also shows multiple chrysalides hatching into butterflies and it shows them flapping their wings to get ready to fly for the first time.

In Becoming Butterflies, by Anne Rockwell, she writes about a teacher, Miss Dana, who brings 3 striped caterpillars into her classroom. The children in the classroom get to watch as the caterpillars eat, grow, and shed there skin, until eventually they form a chrysalis and hatch from it. The Children in the class get very excited to see the butterfly drying its wings off, but then they get sad as the teacher says that they are going to release the butterflies. The teacher explains that they are doing this because the butterflies need to fly down south to Mexico for the winter. The students then receive a letter during the winter, from students in Mexico, with a picture of their butterflies, hanging from a tree.
