Introduction Introduction Task Resources Process Evaluation Conclusion Alright, kids! It’s time to spread your wings and fly! We have spent the last few weeks studying the life cycles of different butterflies and now it is time to apply what you know into a fun research project! Don’t worry! It will be fun!

Task Introduction Task Resources Process Evaluation Conclusion Imagine you are inside a chrysalis. Stretch…stretch...and pop! Out you come! What kind of butterfly are you? Where are you from? What was life like before you were a butterfly? How did you change into a butterfly? What is your life like now?
