SMART Board Goodies A Resource Blog by Amber Coggin

There are several quiz activities, a field observation activity where you identify the parts of a butterfly, and a section where you can also build your own butterfly habitat! This would be a great extension to a lesson on butterfly life cycles. Enjoy!
