How do caterpillars grow and change? |
11C(K-2)#4: Some changes are so slow or so fast that they are hard to see. 11C(K-2)#3: Things can change in different ways, such as in size, weight, color, and movement. Some small changes can be detected by taking measurements. |
Student observations of butterflies emerging from chrysalises (See Procedure steps 1-4 and Activity Sheet 8 Life Cycle of a Butterfly on page 64.) |
Student observations Do students observe butterflies emerging from the chrysalises? or Do students conclude that the butterflies came out of the empty chrysalises? Activity Sheet 8 Are students able to sequence the pictures accurately to represent how the caterpillars grow and change? |

* Essential/Unit questions are major questions driving the unit. They are directly aligned with the benchmarks. No single lesson addresses each question in its entirety. By the end of the unit, students should be able to answer these core questions. 1. For conceptual benchmarks. 2. Bolded sections indicate portion of benchmark addressed 3. Unless noted as a Summative Assessment, the assessments are formative and should be used to guide teaching and learning. |
