Explore Butterflies

What it is: Explore Butterflies is a neat interactive site where students can explore and learn about butterflies.  Students can test their butterfly smarts, build a butterfly habitat, observe butterflies in a virtual field observation, and learn about butterflies and climate change.  This collection of activities, quizzes, and games, is a fun way for students to learn all about butterflies.

How to integrate Explore Butterflies into the classroom: If butterflies are part of your science curriculum, this site it a must see.  The site teaches all about butterflies and encourages student interaction.  This would make an excellent science center, or activity for students to complete in a computer lab setting.  Because of the way the site is set up, it would also be a great site to use with an interactive whiteboard and student response system (clickers).

Tips: The reading on this site may be challenging for younger students.  This would be a good activity for younger students to complete with older buddies in a computer lab.
