What will be done with my students

Students will plant and maintain a butterfly garden. Students will gain knowledge in math skills, such as measuring, calculating how much to water depending on the weather, etc. They will develop a greater understanding of how seeds grow into plants and what is needed to keep them alive. What kid of butterflies we have in Florida? How can we help to protect the habitat for them? How do butterflies migrate? Why?  

 

Benefits to my students
