Life Cycle of a Butterfly - Coggle Diagram
Life Cycle of a Butterfly
Branch 2: Stage 2 - The Larva (Caterpillar)
Scientific Process Skill: Comparison (comparing body structure such as segments and legs)
Key Concept: Growth and feeding
Description: The caterpillar eats leaves and grows rapidly
Process: Molting (shedding skin to allow growth)
Branch 1: Stage 1 - The Egg
Scientific Process Skill: Observation (using magnifying glasses) :mag_right:
Key Concept: Reproduction (life begins)
Description: Eggs are laid by the adult butterfly
Location: Usually found on the underside of leaves
Branch 3: Stage 3 - The Pupa (Chrysalis)
Scientific Process Skill: Prediction (what changes are happening inside?)
Key Concept: Metamorphosis (transformation process)
Description: The insect is in a protected, resting stage
Feature: Stationary and enclosed
Branch 4: Stage 4 - The Adult (Butterfly)
Scientific Process Skill: Identification (body parts: head, thorax, abdomen)
Key Concept: Maturity and pollination
Description: The butterfly emerges fully developed with wings
Life Cycle Link: Lays eggs to restart the cycle
Branch 5: Inquiry-Based Teaching Tools
Magnifying glasses (for close observation)
Playdough (for modelling stages of the life cycle)
Live observation or digital images/videos
Charts or sequencing cards of the butterfly life cycle
