1.1. The guests of the Butterfly Jungle do not know the life cycle stages of a butterfly, and the staff at the zoo is afraid they will harm the caterpillars when they see them eating all the leaves.
2. Final Presentation to the guests of the Butterfly Jungle
2.1. Once the discussion has ended and more notes have been taken, together they will create a presentation explaining the life cycle of a butterfly. They will present their presentation to the guests of the Butterfly Jungle at the San Diego Zoo to ensure the caterpillars survive to become beautiful butterflies!
3. Students will research all four stages of the butterfly's life cycle from the websites provided the them.
