Program Details

Format

1. Author Valerie Marsh begins our program with a quick review of the difference between fiction and non-fiction. Students learn the sign language for for butterfly, flower, yes, no, science, friend, like, and gravity.
2. Together we enjoy a riddle story about a flower which also, when folded the other way is a butterfly.
3. Students discuss the math concept of line of symmetry, discover and discuss the riddle, and fold their own paper butterflies.
4. Miss Liz Science Wiz introduces the topics of gravity, force, friction and the motion of push and pull.
5. Students make predictions regarding what will happen to their paper butterflies as they apply force, drop them from different heights, and add paper clips (weight) to their butterflies.
6. Students explore inclines using their string!
7. We identify and apply all of these concepts to butterflies in real life!
