Butterflies are fascinating insects. Have you ever looked at them closely? What do you know about their body parts? You will be able to discover some really amazing information about them by looking at some websites and doing some interesting activities while you are there.

You will be able to: work with a partner for most of the time, but you will need to do your own recording. do the first activity and then choose five others. make a KidPix slide show to share what you have learnt with others. complete a self-assessment and evaluation sheet to help you see what you have learnt. do some fun activities when you have finished. print the activities list before you start so that you can record the activities you have completed. print the evaluation rubric before you start, so that you know how your teacher will mark your work.
