Students learned that butterflies are insects with 3 main body parts. We really encouraged anatomically correct drawing of the butterfly with the forewings and hindwings connecting to the thorax. We also discussed the large compound eyes made up of 1,000's of eyes. I love it when I can integrate art into the other core subjects so easily. The art goal was to use bi-lateral symmetry in a work of art. To get the wings to be large, I talked a lot about how the wings have to be strong enough to make it through their migration south.
