My Project
Throughout this educational experience, students will observe and document the stages of the life cycle, from the tiny larvae to the metamorphosis into pupae and, finally, the emergence of butterflies. This hands-on learning approach will foster a deeper understanding of biological processes and ignite curiosity about the natural world.
Once the butterflies have emerged, we will host a school-wide immersive activity.
An enclosed tent will be set up on school grounds, where students can interact with the butterflies in a safe and controlled environment. They will have the opportunity to feed the butterflies, observe their flight, and participate in interactive activities that encourage them to engage directly with these magnificent creatures.
This project will not only provide students with the opportunity to witness the wonders of nature, but it will also help them develop a greater appreciation for the world around them. The miraculous transformation from larvae to butterfly is a powerful reminder of the beauty and complexity of life, and it’s an experience that will stay with them for years to come. By supporting this project, you are helping to cultivate a sense of awe and wonder in our students as they explore one of nature's most fascinating life cycles.
