Help me give my students a chance to see firsthand how caterpillars transform into butterflies!
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Sims's classroom raised $172

My Project
We need an ecosystem kit and live butterflies. This project includes a kit that will allow my students to study the life cycle of a caterpillar and how, through metamorphosis, it transforms into a butterfly! This will let my students see firsthand the different stages of metamorphosis in our classroom. Through this project, we can do several different activities and simply observe the incredible transformation. After the change, students will be able to then spend the day in nature and release the butterflies.
This project will provide students with an enjoyable, unforgettable unit study!
More than half of students from low‑income households
