Students will long remember the experience of learning about the life cycle of butterflies -- not so much because of the books we read and conversations we have -- but mostly because of the larva we observe and life cycle we witness! Students will compare the life cycles we have studied to those of the live butterflies we help raise in our classroom, caring for the creatures and them releasing them into the wild. Also, our young engineers are constantly looking for new ways to be challenges and problems to solve. Marble towers and magnatiles formations will create these opportunities as students work with their peers to find new ways to construct.
