Live Ladybugs and Caterpillars for Science
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Piper's classroom raised $382
This project is fully funded
My Project
One of our state standards is the life cycles of different animals. Reading about ladybugs and caterpillars' life cycles is one thing, but actually having them in the classroom is something much different.
Please help me provide this valuable science experience for my students. They will get to watch every single stage the animals go through right before their own eyes. There is no better way to learn than to learn daily while watching the changes happen.
Your help with this project will be appreciated by everyone in my classroom!
Top rated for efficiency and transparency.
