About this resource
Teaching science to our elementary students opens them up to a whole new world of interests, but with a whole new take! They get to learn about the weather and its changes. They get to learn about animals and their offspring. They get to learn about natural wonders, such as volcanoes! There are so many engaging things for students to learn during science.
What You Get:
This is a Butterfly and Moth Life Cycle Worksheet that is ideal for elementary students who have been introduced to insect life cycles.
How To Implement This Resource:
You can print off enough copies of this worksheet for each student to have. You may also choose to print only a few copies and laminate those. If you choose to laminate them, students can use dry erase markers to write answers. This is a great way to turn this into a science centre or small group activity.
There will be 3 pages for the butterfly and 3 pages for the moth. The first page will show the 4 stages of the life cycle with image representation. Students can colour these images. The second page will have a blank graphic organizer for students to complete. They can use words or images to show the 4 stages. The third page will be a colouring page of the insect with facts about the insect.
I hope you enjoy!
