Support Materials
In
an on-going collaboration with several Minnesota teachers, we have developed a variety
of materials to complement classroom study of monarchs. The centerpiece of these
materials is a comprehensive
written curriculum that leads teachers and students through an inquiry-based
study of monarch butterflies. We have three separate guides, for K-2, 3-6, and Middle
School teachers. In each guide, there is a strong interdisciplinary approach; the
curriculum incorporates concepts and skills in science, math, reading, writing,
art and social studies. Lessons are congruent with K-8 concept and process standards
as outlined in the National Academy of Science's National Science Education Standards
(1996). Each guide has been indexed to the Content Standards from several states
and the National Science Education Standards.
In addition to the curriculum guides, we have many other items available in our
Online Store.
