Data Collecting and Reporting

We have been collecting and reporting data using tally charts, line plots, bar graphs and pictographs. Here are some photos of our work with line plots:

Butterfly Release

Today we released all but 2 of our adult butterflies. The last 2 are still in their chrysalis. We hope to see them Monday morning.

Observing Caterpillar Larva

Today we are observing our Painted Lady Butterfly larva. We have had them for 8 days and boy have they grown! We can see their spiracles (breathing holes), true legs, false legs, spinnerets, setae and even their tiny eyes. They are so busy eating and resting as they prepare to turn into their chrysalis soon.
