  1. Life Cycle of a ButterflyLTEC 4100February 20, 2010 Ashley Pettit University of North Texas

  2. TEKS §112.3. Science, Grade 1. • (7)  Science concepts. The student knows that many types of change occur. The student is expected to: • (D)  observe and record changes in the life cycle of organisms.

  3. 1st grade This lesson is aimed for a general 1st grade classroom. The classroom will contain all different students. Some might be bilingual, gifted and talented or may be a little behind and need extra assistance.

  4. The Life Cycle of a Butterfly: A General Overview

  5. Life Cycle Continued • 1st stage: Egg • The egg is attached to a surface, normally a leaf or stem, by the female. • It is very small and round. • 2nd stage: Caterpillar (larva) • This is the stage where it eats and grows larger. • As it grows, it sheds it’s skin about 4 times.

  6. Life Cycle Continued • 3rd stage: Cocoon (chrysalis) • This is the transformation stage, in which the adult structures are formed. • 4th stage: Adult Butterfly • This is when the beautiful butterfly emerges. • It is also when they can reproduce and lay eggs.

  7. Learning Objectives • The student will be able to: • Identify the 4 stages of the life cycle of a butterfly • Create a booklet of the butterfly’s life cycle • Explain the 4 stages of the life cycle of a butterfly • Compare and contrast a bird to a butterfly

  8. Bloom’s Taxonomy Objectives • Remembering: • The students will have to recall and memorize the 4 stages of the butterfly’s life cycle. • Understanding: • The students will identify each stage by looking at different pictures of each. • Applying: • The students will illustrate the life cycle in their booklet. • Analyzing: • The students will compare and contrast the butterfly’s life cycle to a bird’s life cycle.

  9. Bloom’s Taxonomy Objectives Continued • Evaluating: • The students will be evaluated through a test I will provide them on each stage of the butterfly’s life. • Creating: • The students will create and design a booklet about the life cycle of a butterfly.

  10. Materials The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle PowerPoint presentation about the life cycle of a butterfly White construction paper Markers, crayons, colored pencils Glue Pastina (pasta shaped as a bead) Curly pasta Shell pasta Bow tie pasta

  11. Learning Activities • I will begin the lesson by reading the book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle and then discussing it with the students. • As a class, we will then compare and contrast a butterfly to a bird using a Venn Diagram on the board. • For example, they can both fly but one is an insect and one is a bird. • We will then discuss each one of the four stages in detail through a PowerPoint presentation I had created.

  12. Learning Activities Continued • After we have finished the PowerPoint, we will return to our Venn Diagram and add some new information. • For example, they both start out as eggs and then mature into the next stage. • I will then provide the materials to create small books about a life cycle of a butterfly. • The book should include each pasta to represent each stage along with 3 to 4 sentences describing the stage in detail and illustrations. • Pastas: • Pastina(pasta shaped as a bead)=egg • Curly pasta=caterpillar/larva • Shell pasta=cocoon/pupa • Bow tie pasta=adult butterfly

  13. Learning Activities Continued Once everyone has finished their books, we will do an overview of the life cycle of a butterfly and I will answer any questions the students have. I will then pass out a test on the life cycle of a butterfly and have the children complete it.

  14. Evaluation I will evaluate my students through the entire lesson. I will ask questions throughout our discussions to see if they are comprehending the information I am providing them. I will then evaluate them by grading their booklets and their quizzes.
