On Gossamer Wings (K-3)

Butterflies and moths have unique adaptations to live in their environments, but also share similarities with humans. In this program students will learn how these creatures use their senses to explore the world around them, just like we do. Students will compare the butterfly and moth life cycles to our own and recognize the impact that pollinators have on the environment today. Students will learn about butterflies and moths through reflecting on the question, “How can we improve the environment for butterflies, moths, and ourselves?”
