Butterfly / Mealworm Observation

Dear 4A,

During our lesson on Wednesday, we saw the video on The Hungry Caterpillar. After watching the video, we came up with a few reasons on why our caterpillar didn't survive:
1) The caterpillar may have eaten their own poop.
2) The caterpillar may not have eaten enough leaves but was planning on changing into a pupa (since we saw it in that position)

Since the caterpillars didn't survive, I have brought in mealworms into the classroom. Do feed the mealworms regularly with the oats. Besides that, as you observe the mealworms, make comparisons with the caterpillar. Think about the similarities and differences between the mealworms and caterpillars.




I have attached the video on The Hungry Caterpillar here in case you want to watch it again.



Cheers,
Ms Reena
