Butterfly Life Cycle WebQuest
Introduction
All living things have a life cycle. During some animal's life cycle, there isn't much change. A butterfly is an animal that changes many times. A butterfly changes four times or has four stages of life. This WebQuest will help you discover the four stages of a butterfly's life! As part of our study of life cycles you and your partner will learn many interesting facts about the Painted Lady Butterfly.
Task
You and your partner are responsible for gathering information (researching), writing and illustrating a poster about the Painted Lady Butterfly life cycle to share with your classmates. As you are researching, you can fill in information you have learned on the "Butterfly Fact Sheet."
Your poster should show the different stages of the butterfly (egg, caterpillar, chrysalis, and butterfly) and explaining true facts about each stage. You may look back at any section of this WebQuest if you need to. You can research on the websites below and also watch the videos that give more information.
