Real-World Activity ATTENTION: Calling All PI's (private investigators) In Mrs. Teri's
creepy crawly bug activity, we are going to become Private
investigators. We are being called upon to get down to the bottom
of what is happening to the
caterpillars. As a private "eye", we will all need the correct gear to
find out why a
caterpillar disappears and a butterfly appears? We will have to
explore out into the world to
investigate the life cycle and what happens at each stage.
Detailed
drawings of each cycle will be recorded and inspected to draw a
conclusion. Don't worry class, the end results will be in
our favor!
