Life Cycles

In their final two weeks in the AT&T Classroom, students from Walls & Longcoy studied life cycles. Students were introduced to this topic by watching a video from Discovery Education, Insects and Metamorphosis Life Cycle. The classes explored a number of websites to study the life cycle of a butterfly, a frog, and a chicken and then created Venn diagrams comparing the life cycles of a butterfly and a frog. Using Kerpoof Studio (free downloadable multimedia software) students further explored the metamorphosis of a butterfly and then created their own scene of the life cycle of a butterfly. For a final group project, students used their research findings to create claymations depicting the life cycle of a butterfly, frog, or chicken.
