Patterns Of Change

Dear Parents and Students,

We are now learning about patterns of change in our science class. We will be identifying patterns of change in weather, metamorphosis, and objects in the sky such as the moon, sun, and stars.

We are learning about changes in metamorphosis. At this butterfly site you can print off a coloring page that shows the life cycle of the Monarch butterfly. There are also puzzles that the student can do for fun. There is a caterpillar and a butterfly puzzle. This site will help students learn more about metamorphosis and have fun while doing it.

At the climate change site the students can watch a video that shows the water cycle and how it affects changes in our weather. This site also teaches about water storage, water movement, the wet cycle and the dry cycle. This is an easy to use site and will help the students understand our weather in a fun way.

We will also be looking at patterns in the sky. The earth in orbit site will help the student understand the patterns of our Earth's orbit and that of the moon. The students can play around with the time and where our Earth will be in orbit at that time. How much fun!!

I hope these sites will help students and parents understand these concepts better!
