Butterfly Life Cycle
This lesson is for my kindergarten class. It is about the life cycle from caterpillar to butterfly.
Subject: Science Kindergarten Topic: Living things
Objective: Living things respond to stimuli. The responses described must be easy to observe (e.g., fish in an aquarium respond to a stimulus – food). Living things grow (e.g., plant seeds or seedlings and
watch them grow). Observing plants growing toward a light source can lead to experiments and explorations of what happens when the plant is placed in a different place in the classroom (e.g., on the floor, in a closet, on a desk) or rotated 90 degrees. Some observations also can be done virtually. (Ohio Learning Standards, 22)
Procedure: Introduction- The teacher will begin by reading the Very Hungry Caterpillar book and then will have the children talk about what happened to the caterpillar. Then the children will be asked to identify how they could have affected the butterfly. Make caterpillars and then turn them into butterflies. End of day- The teacher will show the children a video from the butterfly house and how people walking in and out affect them.

Evaluation: The students are familiar with butterflies but may not understand how the
animals affect to stimuli and how they can affect them.
