Age 7 · Science
Open to everyone until Thursday, October 29
To keep it, print it while it is open.
A butterfly starts as a tiny egg, then hatches into a hungry caterpillar that eats and grows. The caterpillar turns into a chrysalis, and a butterfly with wings comes out, looking nothing like the caterpillar it used to be.
Examples
- You can find caterpillars munching on leaves in a garden in spring.
- A frog changes too: it starts as a tadpole that swims and has no legs.
Key takeaways
- A butterfly’s life goes egg, caterpillar, chrysalis, butterfly.
- A baby butterfly (the caterpillar) looks very different from its parents.
