ILES third graders are hoping their butterflies love this beautiful fall weather as much as they do!
Third grade teachers Jodi Carder and Linsey Titus recently took classes outside to release the Painted Lady Butterflies they have raised and studied over the past 20 days.
Students got to watch as the butterfly larva (or caterpillars) grew into the pupa (or chrysalis) stage. Then they hatched into butterflies, ready to fly away. Students recorded their thoughts and impressions of the life cycle process in their scientific Observations Journals.
In fact, a recent chemical analysis of painted lady butterfly wings suggests that the butterflies head back to Europe in the spring. The roundtrip, which usually plays out over several generations, is an annual journey of about 7,500 miles, about 1,200 more than successive generations of monarchs are known to fly each year.
Throughout the school year students will also be studying the life cycles of frogs, plants and humans as part of the third grade state science standards.
See a video of the butterflies flying away!
