Today is Day 80 of our stay-at-home time. Keep reading to see what is happening with the caterpillars and how to fold some awesome paper airplanes!
CHRYSALIDS
As of Saturday, all of the caterpillar are now in the pupa or chrysalis stage of the butterfly life cycle. Each caterpillar started to form the chrysalis inside its exoskeleton and then it shed its exoskeleton one last time. The chrysalis is about 1 cm shorter than the length of the fully grown caterpillar.
In nature, the chrysalids hang upside down, so I have attached them to the top of a butterfly cage. I put them in a butterfly cage so that when the butterflies come out, they will be safe and not flying around my home!
Look carefully at the chrysalis in the above photo. Does it look like a caterpillar? Does it look like a butterfly? What is happening inside?
PAPER AIRPLANES
Your language assignment on Google Classroom today is about the SpaceX Falcon 9 Rocket taking the Dragon Crew capsule to the International Space Station . Did you know that most astronauts are pilots (people that can fly airplanes)? Knowing about planes and about how things fly is really interesting. You can do this by making and flying paper airplanes. Here is a video that show you how to make 5 different models:
