An integrated lesson comparing the butterfly and frog life cycles: Students will build on their prior knowledge about the butterfly life cycle to compare and contrast the life cycles of butterflies and frogs. Students will locate butterflies on the school grounds and create pictographs and models of fractions to explain their findings mathematically. Students will also use a variety of resources to read about and study the food, space and air needed by butterflies and frogs to grow. They will create visual and written products to demonstrate their findings.; Format: lesson plan (grade 2 English Language Arts, English Language Development, Mathematics, and Science); By Martha Dobson and Margaret Monds.

Marvelous metamorphosis: Most kids love insects. This integrated unit will enable students the opportunity to observe, identify, and describe the life cycle a mealworm goes through during his metamorphosis into a grain beetle.; Format: lesson plan (grade 2 English Language Arts, Visual Arts Education, Computer Technology Skills, and Science); By Pam Maness.

The migration of the monarch butterfly: The students will listen to and discuss books about butterflies and the migration of monarch butterflies to Mexico in order to integrate science, social studies, and language arts.; Format: lesson plan (grade 2 Social Studies, English Language Development, and Science); By Martha H. Dobson and Margaret Monds.

Butterfly 1: Observing the life cycle of a butterfly: Students observe one organism over time and compare its early development to its later development. (Learn more); Format: lesson plan (grade K–2 Information Skills and Science); Provider: American Association for the Advancement of Science

Butterfly 2: A butterfly's home: Students should explore how various organisms satisfy their needs in the environments in which they are typically found. Students will design their own butterfly gardens to demonstrate which environmental characteristics make up a favorable butterfly habitat.

Fish Aren't Afraid of the Dark!: Students are introduced to the concept of bioluminescence and consider how animals benefit from having their own light sources. They look at pictures of bioluminescent marine animals and make collages or write stories. (Learn more); Format: lesson plan (grade K–2 Science); Provider: National Geographic

Frog alert! Frog alert!: In this Xpeditions lesson, students learn about the ways National Geographic Emerging Explorer Tyrone Hayes uses a combination of laboratory and field study to learn about changes in frogs' appearances as they relate to chemical contamination of water habitats.
