Life Cycles


This week in our Science class, we will be exploring the life cycle of butterflies and frogs. The butterfly goes through 4 life cycle changes. The egg, larva (caterpillar), chrysalis (pupa) and the adult. The frog goes through three stages. Egg, tadpole (polliwog) and adult. I have found three amazing site that will teach you about butterflies and frogs.

Now, you will want to go explore with Rosa, you can test your butterfly smarts, build a butterfly habitat, do a little field observation or you can learn about climate changes and how they effect butterflies. Have fun.

Lets sort the stages of our butterfly. Here is a learning game. Keep trying until you get it right.


You have explored the butterfly, now lets go learn about frogs. Science close up will let you explore the stages that frogs go through. This site gives a lot of information. Hope you like it.

Exploring butterflies and frogs is a fun experience. I will have a surprise for you in class. Be ready to be my 1st grade scientist on Monday. We will be making our own observations. Have a good weekend. Mrs. Henley
