Life Cycle: IntroductionLesson SevenAges PrimaryObjective: Students learn the life cycle of a butterfly and a moth.Materials: Butterfly Life Cycle Figure (Figure 7)Suggested Approach:Ask your class “How do butterflies and moths grow? Do they start out as little babies likeus or from eggs like snakes, frogs, turtles, and birds?” Using the Figure 7, explain thatbecause butterflies and moths are insects they start as an egg (point to the figure). “Whenthe egg hatches the butterfly or moth is called a larva or caterpillar (point to the figure).Caterpillars spend most of their time feeding on plants and grow very quickly. A caterpillargrows into a pupa (point to the figure). A butterfly pupa is called a chrysalis and a mothpupa is inside a cocoon during this stage of its life.” Point to the figure and tell the classthat this is a picture of a chrysalis. “What do you think happens to the pupa inside achrysalis or cocoon? The pupa is turning into a butterfly or a moth. This process of changeor transformation from caterpillar to butterfly or moth is called metamorphosis.” Have yourstudents repeat the word “metamorphosis.”Review the life cycle with hand motions. “What is the first stage in a butterfly’smetamorphosis? An egg” (hand clutched tight in a fist). “What is the second stage of abutterfly’s metamorphosis? A caterpillar” (index finger extended, scrunched, extended,scrunched). “What is the third stage of a butterfly’s metamorphosis? A chrysalis” (indexfinger wrapped by other hand-like a hotdog). “What is the last stage of a butterfly’smetamorphosis? A butterfly” (thumbs interlocked, fingers wiggling and making a flyingmotion).Florida Museum of Natural Historyhttp://www.flmnh.ufl.edu32
