Featured Projects Butterfly Curriculum, American Association for the Advancement of Science C3 developed a series of lessons on butterflies and their habitats for AAAS's website, Science NetLinks. The lessons were developed for grades K–2 and involve observation over several months. Butterfly 1: Observing the Lifecycle of a Butterfly Click to visit In this lesson, students study the life cycle of a butterfly while noting its development as it metamorphoses from a caterpillar to a butterfly. During this time, students learn about the attributes of a butterfly through both observation and comparing and contrasting. Butterfly 2: A Butterfly's Home Click to visit In this lesson, students design their own butterfly gardens to demonstrate which environmental characteristics make up a favorable butterfly habitat. Teachers have the option of planting a student-created "butterfly garden," which will afford students an opportunity to interact with butterflies in their natural environment.
