You may browse through mathematics and science education curricula or conduct searches that focus on specific interests. This project has been running for a number of years. Six classrooms of 4th and 5th graders will raise monarch caterpillars. When the butterflies emerge from the chrysalis stage, students will keep some of them in two 6'x6'x6' aviaries, with extra light, heat and humidity to induce mating and egg-laying on potted milkweed plants. We will tag and release the remaining butterflies so they can migrate to Mexico.
Students send in sightings and reports.
A global study of wildlife migration. The project invites students to participate and report their sightings and findings.
