We had a fun May Science experiment. Brittany was asked to give a report on butterflies in kingergaten and we thought it would be really fun to watch the whole process. I got a kit that came with five painted lady caterpillars (buglore.clom). We watch and journaled every move they made and then let them go on a beautiful day in the BYUI gardens. Britt named her caterpillars: Scoobers, Cubs, Ellie, Kristy, and Sally. We really enjoyed watching the whole process, it took about threes weeks from caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly. All the Kids really loved watching and playing with the butterflies, even Emily who surprised us all by saying "butterfly" many times throughout the weeks. Britt did an amazing job on her report and loved sharing with all her classmates her beautiful butterflies.
That is so much fun! I might order one of those kits just for some summer fun :)
ReplyDeleteThat sound like so much fun. I didn't know you could order a kit like that. I was just thinking it would be fun to find a caterpillar and do that. The kit would be so much easier. Hope you are feeling well. :)
