Lesson+Plan

This lesson plan is designed for kingergarten students and the curriculum area addressed is science. Using computer technology and other activites, the kindergarten students will be able to understand and be able to demonstrate the lifecycle of a Butterfly by the end of the week with 90% accuracy.

This objective is asking students to demonstrate and describe the lifecycle of the Butterfly, by illustrating the four stages of metamorphorsis at the comprehension level of Bloom's taxonomy.

The following Sunshine State Standards will be addressed: SC.K.N.1.4: Observe and create a visual representation of an object which includes its major features. SC.K.P.12.1: Investigate that things move in different ways, such as fast, slow, etc.

Materials needed: computer with a projector to show students websites, crayons, paper, caterpillar books, toy versions of caterpillars and butteflies.

By the end of the week, the students will be able to correctly identify the parts of a caterpillar, describe the lifecycle of a caterpillar turned to a butterfly, and know the correct vocabulary to do so. They will be able to demonstrate what they have learned by comparing the first KWL chart the class created to the KWL chart created at the end of the week.
