STC Program: The Life Cycle of Butterflies Unit Kit, 3rd Edition

The Life Cycle of Butterflies unit introduces students to the concepts of life cycles by inviting them to investigate one organism-the painted lady butterfly (Vanessa cardui) for 8 weeks. As students care for the caterpillars and butterflies, they observe, record, and describe in words and drawings the metamorphosis from caterpillar to chrysalis and from chrysalis to butterfly.
