Children Learn How Living Things Grow and Change

Butterflies, Mystery Seeds, Spring Flowers and Shrubs all contributed to the study of how things grow and change. Nancy Condit's Kindergarten from the Child Development Center at Kent State University traveled to the AT&T Classroom daily for six weeks to investigate this question. Students witnessed the metamorphosis of butterflies. Using the Wolf Vision Document Camera Mrs. Condit's class saw the dramatic changes as the threadlike caterpillars turned into fat little larve. Soon the enlarged insect formed a chrysalis and finally erupted as an adult Painted Lady Butterfly.
