Monarch Butterflies

With M. Hill's third graders we learned about the life cycle of insects and in particular the metamorphosis of Monarch butterflies.

Monarchs (and butterflies in general) undergo an amazing metamorphosis, changing from a small egg into a beautiful butterfly.

We grew our own Monarch larvae and kept detailed records of their growth and development. We also made observations of the larvae using a microscope.
