The children will learn an appreciation of nature through observation of the life cycle of the butterfly. Butterflies are insects that come in many shapes, sizes, and colors. Children are familiar with these insects' caterpillar forms from an early age, when no sidewalk creature escapes their natural curiosity.
Butterflies go through different stages until they reach adulthood.
The following description can be used for the students. The first stage is called the egg stage. The mother butterfly lays eggs on a leaf. In the larva stage, the egg hatches on the leaf and out comes a caterpillar. In the pupa stage the caterpillar grows and it pops out of its old skin, already wearing a new one.
