As part of our STREAM unit for the study of the life cycle of a butterfly, students worked to create their own butterflies using recyclable materials. We have been learning about the different parts of butterfly anatomy; abdomen, thorax, legs, head, proboscis, compound eye, antennae, forewing and hindwing.
Students were asked to select materials to create these parts and then asked to construct a butterfly on their own using their background knowledge. The focus of this experience was the process vs. the product, as students has no model to guide their finished work. Check out some of the great work in progress below!
