Did you find out the difference between a chrysalis and a cocoon for me? Charlie and I used this video to research the question. We learned a lot about the differences between butterflies and moths from this video! What will you learn?
I know it might be a rainy day tomorrow, but if you can get outside here is a fun game to play! This is called Spring Bingo and it has all the things we have been learning about on it! Have your grown up print out 2 Bingo boards below. You will need at least one other person to play with you. Go outside and try to find the objects/animals on the Bingo board. When you find one, circle it! Whoever has a straight line across their board first says "Bingo!" (Parents, an alternative to this if it's raining is to just print it out, use small objects as game pieces, and call out the pictures like a traditional game of Bingo.)
Now, let's remember the life cycle of a butterfly with this fun song and dance! It's time to get up and exercise your body!
How long do you predict it will take for Scarlett's caterpillars to form their chrysalises? Get out your notebooks and make a prediction! Once the caterpillar has formed it's chrysalis it's ready for its metamorphosis. Wow that's a big word! What does metamorphosis mean?
Time to draw! What do you think the butterfly will look like when its metamorphosis is complete? Draw it! Here is a chart of butterflies that live in Ohio. Do you think they will look like any of these?
Here is something exciting. Look at the chart above and find the monarch butterfly. Do you see it? You can get more monarchs in your yard by planting a plant called milkweed! Monarch caterpillars eat milkweed and need it to survive. You can get free milkweed seeds to plant in your yard!
(Parents see the instructions below.)
