Life Cycle of a Monarch Butterfly
Students identify the stage of the butterfly's life cycle. In this life cycles lesson plan, students create a KWL chart about monarch butterflies. Students observe monarch caterpillars in an aquarium and identify the various stages of...

The Life Cycle of a Butterfly
A well-designed lesson on the life cycle of the butterfly is here for you. In it, young scientists spend 45 minutes a day, for one school week, engaged in their study. They take nature walks, participate in activities in centers, listen...

The Lifecycle of a Butterfly
Students study the life cycle of the butterfly. In this butterfly life cycle instructional activity, students examine and discuss a large diagram of the four stages of the butterfly life cycle. They read books and access web sites that...

Monarch Butterflies
First graders listen to books about butterflies and look at pictures of butterflies. Students review the stages of butterflies and learn the migratory path the monarch takes in its adult stage.

Complete Metamorphosis
Students use a map and colored pins to plot the migration path of Monarch butterflies. They use data found at the Journey North website. Commas are also used in the activity to show how they are put in a series of words using butterfly...

How does Temperature Affect Time in the Pupa Stage?
Students are guided through the Scientific Method to perform observations about the pupa stage of the monarch butterfly. The results of an experiment are used to make assumptions about growth and development.

How Does Temperature Affect Time in the Pupa Stage?
Students make observations of pupa larvae to make notes on the development into the monarch butterfly. The observations teach learners about the life cycle and graphing is done to record the statistical analysis.

Measuring Larval Growth and Development
Students keep a detailed records of the growth and development of their larvae. They fill out an observation chart every day during the larval stage, and every4-5 days during the pupa stage. They summarize all of their data on a class...
